REPUBLIC SERVICES, INC. RSG
Republic Services is one of the largest providers of environmental services in North America, as measured by revenue. We operate across the United States and Canada through 377 collection operations, 255 transfer stations, 79 recycling centers, 207 active landfills, 2 treatment, recovery and disposal facilities, 24 treatment, storage and disposal facilities (TSDF), 5 salt water disposal wells, 15 deep injection wells, 9 industrial wastewater treatment facilities, and 2 polymer centers. We are engaged in 84 landfill gas-to-energy and other renewable energy projects and had post-closure responsibility for 124 closed landfills.
We believe the total addressable United States and Canada environmental services market in which we operate generates approximately $163 billion of annual revenue, which includes the $110 billion recycling and waste industry, $37 billion of the broader environmental solutions industry, and $16 billion in sustainability innovation (described below) and emerging waste and recycling technologies. Within our recycling and waste business, we prioritize investments in market verticals with above-average growth rates and higher return profiles. The environmental solutions market remains fragmented, which provides consolidation opportunities to drive scale. In our sustainability innovation businesses, we believe customer demand for products and services that respond to evolving environmental trends, including circularity and decarbonization, should support above average growth rates and attractive returns. We believe we can further expand our addressable market into other segments of the environmental services industry over time by leveraging our differentiated capabilities, including (1) customer zeal, (2) digital and (3) sustainability.
