Abstract
Due to the human population, urbanization and the standard of living is
increasing, the municipal solid waste is increasing in the same pace. While
the society overall is getting more environmentally conscious and getting a
better insight in the consequences of not managing the waste that is
produced in a better way than dumping it on deposits, problems arise and
especially in larger cities. Big parts of Europe are also influenced by the
European Union’s strategy that put additional press on the companies that
are active within the business.

Due to the human population, urbanization and the standard of living is
increasing, the municipal solid waste is increasing in the same pace. While
the society overall is getting more environmentally conscious and getting a
better insight in the consequences of not managing the waste that is
produced in a better way than dumping it on deposits, problems arise and
especially in larger cities. Big parts of Europe are also influenced by the
European Union’s strategy that put additional press on the companies that
are active within the business.
Our purpose is to survey the waste management business and since it is such
a large business we have chosen to focus on the municipal solid waste, and
as representation for Europe we have looked at the countries France and
Germany that should give a good general picture of what it looks like. By
further concentrating us on the largest actors for management of the waste
in respective country, that is most likely to handle the most amount of
waste, the task gets a lot more hands-on.
On the basis of Michael Porters five forces model, interviews with people
who are deeply informed with the business have described the business’
inner structure. To describe the external factors that affect the business the
PESTEL-framework has been used as a template, and deeply informed
people have also been the source of the data that is presented were and the
basis of conclusions.
As the study has been carried out it has appeared that since the European
Union constantly is putting up new restrictions, and the environmental
consciousness is growing in the worldwide population, the way to manage
the waste is altering. There are a lot of external powers that are affecting the
business, not only the European Union but also the individual country
governments’ organizations. The actors that are active within in the business
are experiencing hard competition in forms of other actors but also from the
continuous change of laws and guidelines. Million of tons of waste is
managed daily and the amounts are constantly increasing The management
of these amounts are, in an increasing pace, moving towards reusable,
recycle or alternative transport to facilities that can extract energy through
composting and incineration of the waste. (Less)
