- Weaker market demand leading to lower sales volumes
- Operating cost inflation (wages, salaries, property, energy)
- Uncertainty regarding optimum future technology for decarbonizing heavy-duty fleet
- Potential for greater regulatory pressure on waste management (including non-SIG waste)
- Challenges in Poland regarding waste recycling infrastructure
