Insider Monkey

We recently compiled a list of the 10 Best Recycling Stocks to Buy According to Hedge Funds. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Republic Services, Inc. (NYSE:RSG) stands against the other recycling stocks.
Imagine living in a society where all kinds of waste are converted into useful resources that power sectors like construction, energy, packaging, and automotive while reducing landfill clutter. That's the reality as calls for sustainability fuel recycling in the race to protect the environment and resources.
Consequently, the waste recycling services market is experiencing robust growth amid increased awareness of environmental sustainability, stringent waste disposal regulations and increased focus on resource conservation. With the recycling services market projected to be worth $78.43 billion by 2028 (as per The Business Research Company), there are tremendous opportunities to unlock by focusing on companies that are involved in the space.
One of the key areas with tremendous potential in the recycling business involves plastic purification so that it can go back into the circular economy. Katherine Ogundiya, an analyst at Barclays, believes the crop of companies working on plastic recycling has been overlooked, yet they possess tremendous upside potential. "Advanced recycling has immense potential to transform the plastic waste crisis," she said in a research note to investors.
The metal recycling market is growing significantly, primarily driven by the increasing demand for consumer electronics. Electronic waste is produced in tandem with the growth in the production and use of gadgets like smartphones, laptops, tablets, and home appliances. Essential metals that can be recovered and recycled, such as copper, aluminum, gold, and silver, are present in these devices. To preserve natural resources and lessen the environmental impact of mining and processing new metals, it is essential to recycle metals from e-waste.
The Environmental Protection Agency announced $2.6 billion in newly available funding for drinking water infrastructure through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to accompany that rule.
Based on data gathered in 2021, the Environmental Protection Agency projected in a report to Congress last year that the United States will require $625 billion in investments over two decades in drinking water infrastructure. The investment should also benefit companies engaged in the water recycling business by 2030.
The recycling sector is a prime example of how profit and the environment can coexist at a time when sustainability is a major topic of discussion worldwide. In addition to promoting a greener future as we move toward a more circular economy recycling companies offer access to a thriving market with substantial growth potential.
We'll introduce you to some of the most notable waste management and recycling companies in this article. These businesses spearhead change and present astute investors with exciting prospects of long-term shareholder value.

While the stock is up by about 20% for the year, the outperformance comes from investors reacting to the company's solid underlying fundamentals characterized by strong customer retention and organic revenue growth.
A noteworthy contributor to Republic Services, Inc. (NYSE:RSG)'s strong performance is the Environmental Solutions (ES) segment. This division's impressive performance demonstrates Republic Services' strategic focus on expanding its service offerings beyond traditional waste management. Despite volume drops, the Solid Waste (SW) division was able to sustain strong margin performance. This fortitude in the face of difficult market circumstances demonstrates the business's capacity for cost control and operational effectiveness.
Consequently, Republic Services, Inc. (NYSE:RSG) delivered solid third-quarter results, on October 30, 2024, with revenues increasing 6.5% year over year to $4.1 billion. It also offered a 17.5% year-over-year increase in earnings per share, totaling $1.8.

The development of polymer centers and Blue Polymers and advancements in fleet electrification also continued to boost top-line growth.
Republic Services, Inc.

"We added two new names to the portfolio in the quarter. Republic Services, Inc. (NYSE:RSG) is a waste disposal company in the industrial sector whose services include nonhazardous solid waste collection, waste transfer, waste disposal, recycling and energy services. It is a stable-through-the-cycle compounder in a consolidated industry. The company's end market is resilient, which gives us some confidence in the stability of its earnings through a recession. In the next few years, cash flow should grow at the high end of the range as Republic Services benefits from high-returning sustainability investments in polymer recycling and renewable natural gas, which also improve the company's emission and circularity profile.
Overall RSG ranks 3rd on our list of the best recycling stocks to buy according to hedge funds. While we acknowledge the potential of RSG as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and doing so within a shorter timeframe.

Clean Energy and Republic Services, Inc., 2nd Largest Refuse Company in the US, Establish Partnership to Supply First CNG Refuse Fleet in Idaho

CLNE 8.29 2.73%
RSG 20.71 6.04%
As of 4:02 PM ET 4/29/09
Republic Services, Inc. (NYSE:RSG), the City of Boise, Idaho's waste and recycling collection services contractor, has awarded Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (Nasdaq:CLNE) a contract to build and operate a compressed natural gas (CNG) time-fill station and provide fuel for Republic's planned deployment of a new CNG refuse truck fleet that will be the first in Idaho. Republic has an exclusive contract with the City of Boise to provide all solid waste and recycling services to more than 68,000 residential and commercial customers in the Greater Boise area. The company operated under the name Allied Waste until a December 2008 merger with Republic, when the two combined to form the second largest solid waste management company in the United States.
"The use of these clean-burning CNG trucks as replacements for our older diesel models aligns with the City of Boise's strategic plan to combat climate change, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and ensure air quality improvements," said Dave Fisher, Republic's Boise general manager. "CNG has proven to be cleaner burning than gasoline or diesel fuel, significantly lowering harmful emissions like nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, toxic pollutants and greenhouse gas carbon dioxide."
Fisher added, "We also believe that natural gas fuel, because it is a domestic resource, is a positive move for the country which will help us reduce our dependence on imported foreign oil."
Boise is home to one-third of Idaho's population and much of the state's industrial and business base, which concentrates in the Treasure Valley section of the city. After careful analysis, the city and Republic determined that a CNG refuse fleet would bring significant air quality and environmental benefits to the area, and help Boise achieve consistent compliance with increasingly stringent standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency.
Ray Burke, Clean Energy Vice President, said, "We congratulate both the City of Boise and Republic for their demonstrated commitment to environmental quality and their choice of clean-burning CNG trucks to provide refuse services to their citizens. We are proud to work with them to support the first CNG-powered trash truck fleet in Idaho, and believe that this can serve as a model for implementing clean refuse collection policies in cities throughout Idaho."
Clean Energy is the leading provider of natural gas (CNG and LNG) for transportation in North America. It has a broad customer base in the refuse, transit, ports, shuttle, taxi, trucking, airport and municipal fleet markets, fueling more than 15,000 vehicles at 176 strategic locations across the United States and Canada. Clean Energy owns and operates two LNG production plants, one in Willis, TX and one in Boron, CA, with combined capacity of 260,000 LNG gallons per day and designed to expand to 340,000 LNG gallons per day as demand increases. It also owns and operates a landfill gas processing facility in Dallas, TX that produces renewable biomethane gas for delivery in the nation's gas pipeline network.
