520 |a Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, home to over 4.5 billion people, faces growing challenges in waste management due to rapid urbanization, industrialization and population growth. This article explores the waste management market in APAC, focusing on its growth dynamics, competitive landscape and value chain processes. The market, valued at over USD 100 billion in 2024, is projected to expand at a compound annual growth rate of 6% from 2025 to 2030. The increasing volume of non-biodegradable waste such as electronic waste, combined with insufficient infrastructure and outdated waste management practices, is straining both urban and rural areas across the region. The article identifies key players such as Veolia and Suez as dominant market forces, whereas emerging start-ups are driving innovation in recycling technologies, waste-to-energy solutions and smart waste management systems. A new trend in the market is the growing adoption of artificial intelligence-powered sorting systems, which have improved recycling rates and operational efficiency in China and India. Value chain activities of waste treatment in the APAC region involves processes ranging from waste generation and collection to sorting, recycling and even disposal. Gaps such as lower integration between informal and formal waste sector, limited public involvement in waste reduction campaigns and insufficient recycling infrastructure all hinder economic development. With the advanced recycling systems of Japan and Korea, obtaining 50-60% recycling rates has become a reality. These results further suggest that there is a dire need for stronger policies, investment in recycling infrastructures and fostering public-private partnerships for better waste treatment systems. And with the right measures, the region can achieve Sustainable Development Goals 11, 12 and 13 by moving towards a circular economy that mitigates environmental pollution
