Hazrem Environmental, which is based in South Wales, has 70 commercial customers across South Wales and Southwest England. It was set up in 2004 as an employee-owned business.
‘Delighted’
Gavin Williams, managing director, Biffa Specialist Services, said: “We’re delighted to be growing our hazardous waste business with the acquisition of Hazrem Environmental.
“We’ve gained a complimentary fleet of vehicles, including tankers, for the safe and efficient collection and treatment of customers’ industrial waste.
“The deal aligns with our growth strategy and adds to our growing footprint in the packaged goods and bulk liquid sector in South Wales and Southwest England, following the acquisition of Total Recycling Solutions (TRS) in the north of England in February 2023.”
Growth 
Paul Goddard, director, Hazrem Environmental, said: “After over two decades building the business, the time is right to hand over the reins so Hazrem can continue its growth story as part of the Biffa group.
“Biffa’s operational expertise and capabilities make them an ideal fit for our client base and the team moving forward. I will remain with the business and look forward to continuing to support our clients.”
