We’ve delved into some of the top trends to follow this year, including around plastics debates, climate risks, biogas opportunities, fleet developments, environmental justice action, and, yes, more M&A. These are among many industry issues with possible inflection points.

Our team is also analyzing where persistent challenges around workforce and fleet management stand, and which policy fronts —including extended producer responsibility, chemical recycling and right-to-repair laws — are going to be top legislative priorities in2023. We’ll also continue to focus on PFAS, organics recycling and other important topics throughout the year.
