• Veolia commissioned a Charles River Associates analysis on hazardous waste management as a binding input to US economic growth.
• The report estimates the US generates over 30 million tons of hazardous waste annually, about 200 pounds per person.
• Hazardous waste volumes could rise by 5 million tons a year by 2033, driven by reshoring, semiconductor expansion, battery manufacturing.
• A 1% to 3% shortfall in management capacity could put $27 billion to $82 billion of US output at risk.
• Veolia positions its US platform to meet demand, citing over 100 service centers, 33 facilities, 6 incinerators.
