Environmental Business Journal - Products by Industry Segment

Products by Industry Segment

There are 14 segments of business activity identified in the environmental industry which are divided into three broad categories: services, equipment and resources. These segments are not classifications of environmental problems in a media sense, such as air pollution or water or solid waste. The environmental industry segments are classifications of types of businesses along the lines of the U.S. Standard Industry Classifications (SIC) system, whether it be engineering services or environmental laboratory services (which may relate to any number of environmental problems) or specific equipment manufacturers or resource providers.

Simply put, service revenues are those generated as fees paid for service, equipment revenues are sales of hardware, and resources are sales of materials, water or energy. The following chart depicts the number of companies in each segment (note that the Wastewater Treatment Works and Water Utilities segments are heavily dominated by public sector entities in the United States).

The following table briefly describes EBJ's 14 environmental industry segments. Clicking the segment name will take you to the appropriate product information section.
