Stricter hazardous waste regulations on the horizon

The US hazardous waste market is expected to reach 8 million tons per year by 2027, driven by industrial reshoring and increasingly stringent environmental regulations. In April 2024, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued the first federal regulation limiting the presence of six PFAS in drinking water.

Cutting-edge technologies to eliminate 99.99% tons of pollutants

In operation since the 1980s, Veolia’s Port Arthur incinerator treats complex waste streams from a wide range of industries, including chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and microelectronics.
