Market Trends of Global Refuse Compactor Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Refuse Compactor Market according to our research experts:
Asia-Pacific to Dominate the Market
The Asia-Pacific region is expected to increase in demand for the global refuse compactor market during the forecasting period. Most APAC countries are significantly expanding their spending on waste management systems, which leads to an increase in demand for the refuse compactor market. Due to the scarcity of dumping sites in the region compared to the garbage generated by largely populated countries like China and India, trash compression is needed.
The municipality has wide usage of the compactor in its day-to-day activities, the compactor is primarily used for compacting solid waste. The world bank has estimated that by 2025, between 2.2 billion to 2.5 billion tons of municipal solid waste (MSW) would need to be recycled in the Asia Pacific region, and to facilitate such requirements, the international solid waste association world congress has decided to adopt new recycling technologies and increase the capacity of existing recycling plants within the Asia Pacific region. Moreover, Asia Development Bank has come up with an initiative to provide financial support to the waste management program and promote social and economic development in the region, thus supporting the growth of the Asia Pacific refuse compactor market.
In February 2021, New Delhi Municipal Council, known as NDMC launched six compactors that are based on CNG to decrease pollution and make sure proper transportation and collection of household waste.
Therefore, owing to the above points, Asia-Pacific is expected to dominate the refuse compactor market during the period studied.
Demand for trash bags for refuse compactors
The Refuse Compactor is very useful in maintaining the trash for a longer period when compared with the conventional systems. This long-time holding of the trash creates unhealthy odors that are one of the restraining factors of the Refuse Compactor. The Refuse Compactor requires special bags as the regular bags are not designed for the extreme pressure that the trash goes through when compacted.
Using bags specially manufactured for trash compactors is required to withstand the immense force the compactor uses to compact the garbage. Regular trash bags were not designed for the amount of force trash compactors use. The size of the bag depends on the compactor's manufactured width, which is usually between 15 and 18 inches (38 and 46 cm). Trash bags for compactors are specifically designed to easily carry 30, 40, or even 50 pounds of trash.
Low density (LDPE) can liners are more suitable for yard trash, construction debris, and kitchen trash. Low-density can liners are the ideal bag for handling trash compactor needs.
Due to the extreme pressure of the compactor, bags designed to handle the force are necessary. These are made at least partially of plastic and resist moisture and tearing. 117.1 million Americans used the Hefty brand in 2021.
