**Rising Demand and Challenges for Waste Management Equipment - 1999 to 2020s**.

In 1999, demand for waste management equipment expanded significantly, growing 31.5% over the previous year. In the 2000s, the introduction of high-temperature incinerators and the development of home appliance recycling technology led to the reduction of dioxin and the recovery of rare metals. In the 2020s, biogasification of food waste and facilities utilizing renewable energy sources are attracting attention. High costs and reduction of carbon dioxide emissions remain challenges, requiring public-private cooperation and the development of new technologies.
