High Regulation and More Patient Visits will Spur Demand for Medical Waste Disposal

Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) November 02, 2011

Medical waste generation is expected to continue growing steadily over the five years to 2016, according to IBISWorld, the nation?s largest publisher of industry research. Insurance coverage for low-income individuals will likely expand through the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) and the aging US population will become Medicare eligible, resulting in increased patient visits to healthcare facilities. While this Act became effective in 2011, most of its effects will be felt during the next five years where revenue for the Medical Waste Disposal Services industry is forecast to grow to $ 3.0 billion. For this reason, industry research firm IBISWorld has added a report on the Medical Waste Disposal Services Industry to its growing Healthcare Services report collection.

US medical facilities are expected to generate about 5.6 million tons of medical waste in 2011. However, because of public safety concerns, most medical waste cannot be directly disposed of in landfills along with municipal solid waste. A growing number of laws and regulations govern the disposal of regulated medical waste (RMW), which is defined as waste that may be contaminated by blood, body fluids or other potentially infectious materials. As a result of increased regulation, most small quantity RMW-generating facilities outsource disposal activities in order to comply. While some large quantity generators (e.g. hospitals) dispose of their own waste at in-house incinerators, outsourced services represent another large market for the Medical Waste Disposal Services industry.

According to IBISWorld analyst, Brian Bueno, the number of patient visits in the healthcare sector has risen, and healthcare providers are outsourcing more disposal services to reduce costs, driving industry demand. ?While the recession softened demand for health services as insurance coverage declined, the aging of the US population has created robust demand from individuals with Medicare coverage,? says Bueno. ?Additionally, slimming margins for the Hospitals industry has forced many to outsource waste disposal activities that were previously done in-house.? Because of strong downstream demand, the industry remained relatively unscathed during the economic downturn, which cut revenue by just 1.2% in 2008.

The Medical Waste Disposal Services Industry is highly competitive, geographically fragmented and characterized by consolidation. The largest industry player, Stericycle has aggressively acquired small operators to expand its reach among the growing small quantity generator market (e.g. outpatient clinics and dental offices). Stericycle is the largest regulated medical waste management company in the United States, and it has significant operations overseas. US Ecology Inc. is another major player in the Medical Waste Disposal Services Industry. The company offers its services to a variety of markets, including refineries, chemical production facilities, manufacturers and medical institutions. Firms compete with a large number of regional and local waste collection firms and the in-house operations of some hospitals, which include firms like Waste Management Inc. and Healthcare Waste Solutions Inc. Rising waste generation and healthcare regulation is anticipated to create further opportunities for new entrants over the next five years, driving demand growth.

Mohair International Weaves Together Baby Mo and Hinterveld, Delivering More Fine Mohair Gift and Decor Items to AmericasMart in Atlanta

Boston, MA (PRWEB) January 13, 2012

Lindy Lieberman arrives at AmericasMart with more mohair decorating options than ever before by joining her hand-loomed South African items ? sold under the Baby Mo label (http://babymo-usa.com/index.htm) ? with four exclusive lines from Hinterveld, a renowned maker of yarns and woven goods. The combination is Mohair International, (http://www.mohairinternational.com) with offices outside Boston.

?Hinterveld?s forward looking designs include beautiful lustrous colors plus advanced manufacturing technology that delivers quality and quantity that means we can supply larger retail stores,? Lieberman says. ?Together, we bring a unique mix of textures ? the best yarns and weaving ? to create remarkable throws and blankets and a range of other items.?

The combination adds four new product ranges from Hinterveld (http://www.hinterveld.com), she adds, including bold stripes and subtle geometric patterns updated for contemporary living. Choose from vibrant contrasting colors, gentle earth tones and modern block and stripe patterns. One collection includes herringbone patterns in yarns that combine Merino Wool and superfine Kid (baby) Mohair (http://www.babymo-usa.com/html/about.htm). Some of these distinctive items add the convenience of being machine washable. They add creative comfort and style to indoor and outdoor use.

South Africa?s heritage and color palette are evident with pastels that reflect the region?s natural environment, hues from plants such as the fynbos play with deep chocolates. Designed for year-round use, these blankets and throws ?breathe? to keep your body cool in warmer weather and cozy insulating layers in winter.

Named for South Africa's grassy plains, Hinterveld is part of The Stucken Group, an international leader in mohair since 1951 and parent company of Mohair Spinners of South Africa (MSSA). The companies supply yarns to both Hinterveld and Baby Mo. Lieberman, a South African native, began importing mohair goods more than a decade ago for her successful interior design business, Lifestyle Living Spaces. She later started a company to distribute Baby Mo items to more than 100 North American shops and boutiques.

Kid mohair ? often called baby mohair (http://babymo-usa.com/about.htm) ? comes from the first shearing of Angora goats less than a year old. South Africa produces the majority of the world?s baby mohair and weaves it into soft, luxurious d?cor items, clothing and accessories. The results are lightweight, packable, wrinkle-free and uniquely warm. Lieberman?s repertoire include wraps, throws, blankets plus clothing, hats, mittens, scarves and more.

Baby Mo (http://babymo-usa.com) crafts handmade items with complex, vibrant and alluring colors. Hand brushing and finishing creates a cloud-like texture and the fluff that distinguishes mohair from other woven goods.

Mohair International will be at AmericasMart Building 2 West Wing-High Design, Booth W1-0523 starting Friday Jan 13th. the company also appears at The NY International Gift Fair in Booth 8022 on Jan. 29th.

MOHAIR INTERNATIONAL is the leading importer of South African mohair products. Both Hinterveld and Baby Mo woven and knitted throws and blankets are unrivalled in color, quality and design. These high-quality luxury goods provide economic opportunity for women and unique craft goods that make outstanding gifts and home d?cor selections found nowhere else.
