Veolia-commissioned study warns 1% US hazardous-waste treatment capacity shortfall could cut output by USD 27 billion by 2033

• Veolia published a CRA industry analysis warning U.S. hazardous-waste treatment capacity constraints could curb projected 2033 output.
• A 1% capacity shortfall could cut projected economic production by USD 27 billion; a 3% gap could reach USD 82 billion.
• The report estimates the U.S. generates 30 million tons of hazardous waste annually; volumes could rise by 5 million tons a year by 2033.
• Rising industrial activity in semiconductors, batteries, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals is expected to drive demand for treatment, storage, disposal capacity.
• Veolia cited its June 2026 Clean Earth acquisition as expanding U.S. hazardous-waste infrastructure to support expected demand growth.
