Pahl Zinn (Member, Detroit) was interviewed by Waste Dive on the
circumstances surrounding Waste Management's plans to acquire
Advanced Disposal Services. Before the deal can be approved, both
companies must submit a Hart-Scott-Rodino premerger notification
and report with the U.S. Department of Justice and Federal Trade
Commission to assess market overlap. The acquisition will likely be
approved, but it remains to be seen what the companies will have to
divest.
"Are you going to be removing competition for the market?
Are you going to end up with a monopoly? It's not illegal to
have a monopoly, but it's improper to use monopoly power for
improper means," Zinn told Waste Dive.
