MEXICO WASTE MANAGEMENT MARKET

Major Mexico Waste Management Market Drivers

The Mexico waste management market is anticipated to rise due to favorable policies of the government, an increase in disposable income of customers, and growing awareness of sustainable waste management practices. In Mexico, the waste management sector is structured around the 3 primary categories of waste. Firstly, municipalities oversee the management of municipal solid waste, including household garbage. Secondly, states are accountable for handling special waste streams including tires, water treatment sludges, construction and demolition waste, and several other non-standard waste types. Lastly, federal authorities are tasked with organizing the management of hazardous waste, including medical waste and several other potentially harmful materials. In the Mexican system, with some exceptions, the 2,457 municipalities typically do not levy fees for the collection, disposal, and treatment of waste, which is a significant challenge to effective waste management.

In addition, the turnover of municipal councils every three years can disrupt continuity in planning, vision, and waste management projects. The Secretariat of Environment and Natural Resources in Mexico does make efforts to professionalize the waste management sector. However, Mexican municipalities often contain a small network of local offices staffed by untrained personnel and facing financial challenges. Despite these challenges, it is projected that the municipalities can play an important role in helping investors in overcoming social, local, and cultural barriers to effective waste management. Through collaboration and support from municipalities, investors can navigate and address these challenges which leads to more successful Mexico waste management market growth.

In 2003, The General Law for the Prevention and Comprehensive Management of Waste in Mexico encouraged waste recovery and aimed to lessen its impact on the environment and human health. In 2009, the federal government issued the National Program for the Prevention and Management of Waste, which has since improved the involvement of states, the private sector, and municipalities in waste management efforts. This program presents a concerted effort to enhance waste management practices nationwide and foster collaboration among different stakeholders to address the health and environmental concerns linked with waste disposal. Despite efforts made, progress in waste management in Mexico remains steady and requires continuous government actions to improve waste management systems. The National Zero Waste Vision presents another initiative focused at improving sustainable management practices. This vision encompasses principles of the circular economy, a commitment to minimise corruption and encourage transparency in public management coupled with social welfare. By adopting these principles and initiatives, Mexico concentrates to make significant shift towards accomplishing more sustainable and effective management practices while propelling societal benefits which further drives the Mexico waste management market growth.
