Environmental products and services

A major priority for Mexico is water and wastewater treatment infrastructure.

  • Private operators already treat almost 40% of treated municipal wastewater in Mexico. The Mexican government provides funding for most of these plants.
  • Environmental investment forecasts to the year 2025, indicate Mexico needs to invest nearly US$5 billion to modernize irrigation and improve water and wastewater treatment systems.

Key environmental buyers in Mexico include:

  • Public water and waste utilities and operators
  • Government agencies [federal, state and local]
  • State-owned entities, e.g., PEMEX [petroleum] and CFE [electricity]
  • Private industry [domestic and international environmental engineering and construction companies]

Identified industrial opportunities include:

  • Treating, recycling and reusing water and waste
  • Hazardous and toxic waste treatment, management, and disposal solutions
  • Replacing, retrofitting and upgrading inefficient machinery, engines, and equipment for clean technologies
  • Emissions testing and control
  • Medical waste incineration
  • Reducing energy consumption
  • Cost-effective alternative energies and fuels
  • Improving internal combustion
  • Fuel conversion technologies
