Waste and recycling industry leaders are buying, selling and recapitalizing at an even greater scale, backed by recent recycling modernization laws, an increase in producer-funded investments and buyer demand. GHJ’s Tom Barry and Ed Skiber discuss changes in the waste and recycling sector that impact deal activity and growth in an article with Dickinson Wright and co-author Christopher Lynch.
The article examines:
- Recycling modernization and California’s Senate Bill 54, “The Plastic Pollution Prevention and Packaging Producer Responsibility Act,” and its potential to impact owners and investors looking to buy, sell or scale
- Overall public buyer appetite and private capital activity in waste and recycling M&A
- The strategic value in processing infrastructure and technology capabilities
- A future outlook on durability in cash flows, expansion opportunities and industry consolidation
