The global water distribution and waste management sectors faces major challenges related to increasing urbanization, pressure on natural resources, and stricter regulatory requirements, in a context where local authorities, the sector’s historical market, are experiencing unprecedented economic pressure.

The demand for drinking water is rising, while aging infrastructure requires significant investments. At the same time, waste management must cope with increasing volumes and increasingly stringent recycling requirements. The issue of waste reuse, which stirred the sector in the 2000s, seems to struggle to find a viable economic model.

Industry players must rethink their organizations to improve operational efficiency, find new market opportunities, and reduce the environmental impact of their own clients.

Akoya has redesigned the organization of many of its clients to adapt to market fluctuations. When we design a new organization, we assess its impact on processes, roles, and responsibilities. We carefully consider stakeholder engagement throughout these projects to ensure the deployment phase delivers better results than those typically seen in the market.
