Nowadays, the waste management sector faces a number of challenges. Changes in consumer habits generate
huge amounts of industrial and household waste. Today’s trends, which involve a higher use of critical raw
materials, such as in the manufacture of batteries and solar cells, make it urgent to extract valuable raw materials
from waste. The waste sector as a whole, taking into consideration all levels of the waste hierarchy (prevention,
reuse, recycling, energy recovery, landfilling), is a significant branch of the national economy, both in terms of
employment and income-generating capacity. In addition, the sector can be considered a major intermediary in
industrial value chains as it contributes to the generation of secondary raw materials that can be sold to industries
and thus help to achieve a circular economy through the collection, treatment and processing of waste.
