Hazardous Waste Management

Hazardous Waste Management companies classified under SIC 4955 provide specialized collection, transportation, treatment, and disposal services for toxic, corrosive, flammable, radioactive, and biomedical materials. Their typical customers include chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturers, oil and gas operators, hospitals, laboratories, utilities, and advanced electronics and battery producers, all requiring strict cradle‑to‑grave tracking of hazardous streams. Operators face significant regulatory exposure under RCRA, CERCLA, DOT transport rules, OSHA standards, and increasingly tight state and local environmental regulations, with liabilities tied to spills, chronic exposure, and long‑term site remediation. In 2024–2025 the industry is seeing rising demand from battery recycling, PFAS and emerging contaminants, ESG‑driven cleanup projects, and technology investments in waste minimization, thermal destruction, and closed‑loop resource recovery. Consolidation continues as large integrated providers acquire niche regional players to expand capacity near industrial hubs.
