PCBs are a group of man-made chemicals that have been used in hundreds of products, including electrical equipment, plasticizers and dyes/pigments. They were manufactured in the United States from 1929 until intentional manufacturing was banned in 1979. PCBs, if released into the environment, persist for long periods of time and can bioaccumulate (i.e., increase in concentration) in small organisms and in fish over time. People and animals who consume PCBs may be exposed to PCBs. PCBs have been shown to cause cancer in animals and adversely impact their immune, reproductive, nervous and endocrine systems. Studies have also shown that PCBs may have carcinogenic and other adverse effects in humans as well. This report mainly study PCB waste services.

In South America and Europe market, key players of PCB waste services include SGS, Orion BV, Celtic Recycling, CSG, etc. Top five manufacturers hold a share over 69%. In terms of product, abandoned device containing PCBs is the largest segment, with a share over 93%. And in terms of method, the largest application is high temperature combustion, with a share over 64%, followed by landfilling.

Market Trends

Increasing focus on recycling: A growing focus by the intergovernmental organizations such as the United Nations (UN) and World Economic Forum (WEF) over the recycling of undocumented and unprocessed e-waste has created a massive opportunity for e-waste recyclers and smelters.

Household appliances segment will be the dominant source of e-scrap: Growing consumer purchasing power and increased technological advancements across the globe have caused increase consumption of electrical and electronic equipment in the households.

Telecommunication circuit cards segment will register a significant growth: The telecommunication circuit card segment will be the most generated printed circuit board e-scrap globally during the forecast period. Printed circuit boards are extremely vital to the telecom industry and are used in a wide range of telecommunication devices. These telecom equipment are electrically connected and mechanically supported by the help of high-end printed circuit boards.
