Background

Waste Dive is one of Industry Dive's original publications. Industry Dive launched in 2012 with three founders and six industry sites, including Waste. It was independent from 2012 to 2019. Falfurrias Capital Partners owned it from 2019 to 2022. In September 2022, Informa PLC bought it in a deal reported at about $389 million. In 2024, Industry Dive's sites were combined with Informa TechTarget. The founders said at the 2022 sale that the editorial teams and their commitment to independent coverage would stay in place. Waste Dive's site is an industry news dashboard with daily newsletters, and it covers landfills, haulers, recycling markets, regulation, mergers and acquisitions. Its sister company's Waste Expo trade show and sponsored-content arm create commercial ties to the industry it covers, which is common in B2B media. The outlet has no well-known partisan controversies. Its perspective is that of an industry-focused business outlet, with a practical bent toward how policy affects operators and markets.
