LONDON, November 24 - In the wake of a recession that gravely affected the recycling segment
and dropped collection volumes, Frost & Sullivan predicts the recycling waste
market to start to rebound by late Q4 2009. The rising government spending on
infrastructure will spur this, among other market drivers. Although recycling
of waste has experienced a significant downturn, this situation is unlikely
to remain for long as EU legislation mandates a strong push towards reuse and
recycling of wastes. This in-turn creates significant market opportunities in
key segments including sorting and separation of wastes at source, waste
treatment and most importantly recycling.

On Recycling Waste Markets Frost & Sullivan organises a web conference
that will take place on Tuesday, 8 December, at 3 pm GMT. To participate in

above information, a registration link will be e-mailed to you. You may also

In keeping with the pressure on legislation promoting recycling in the
EU, the Copenhagen Summit on Climate Change emphasizes that sustainable
living covers carbon footprints, waste management, recycling and energy
neutrality. The momentum towards waste recycling in the EU is strong and the
presence of active legislation supporting the market maintains growth in the
sector.

"The industry has been presented with tough challenges due to the
economic situation across Europe. However, government support, infrastructure
investment and strict legislative deadlines have maintained a positive
climate for market growth," observes Frost & Sullivan's Suchitra Padmanabhan,
Programme Manager of European Waste Management Markets.

Suchitra Padmanabhan will discuss market prospects for waste recycling in
the EU and analyse key drivers that maintain momentum and growth for this
market. Battery waste will be examined as an example of a market driven by
legislation, which is pushing for 2010 as the deadline.

"Key segments such as batteries recycling will see a positive impact due
to approaching deadlines in 2010 and while pressure remains to meet these,
market participants are assured of attractive benefits," Padmanabhan states.

This briefing will benefit waste management service providers, technology
and equipment suppliers, and companies looking to invest in the waste
management market by discussing emerging trends and key opportunities in the
European waste recycling market.
