Reconomy makes two US acquisitions

Reconomy has acquired two US-based companies – Complete Solutions & Sourcing and Waste Focus – through its waste management platform Lincoln Waste Solutions.  

Complete Solutions & Sourcing is based in Peeksill, New York

New York-based Complete Solutions & Sourcing is a waste and recycling services management company specialising in grocery store anchored shopping centres, multi-family residential units and retail segments.

Waste Focus, located in Massachusetts, is a waste management company specialising in the property management, hospitality and manufacturing sectors. 

Both brands already have close links with Lincoln Waste Solutions which was acquired by Reconomy in August 2024. The acquisition added hundreds of major retail and Fortune 500 clients to its client portfolio.

The waste company will also acquire over 100 employees and scale its operations to 15,000 sites which manage over one million tonnes of waste per year.  

Guy Wakeley, chief executive of Reconomy, commented: “We are delighted to acquire these high-quality, well-established brands that have strong waste management platforms in the US and valuable client bases across multiple sectors. They build on our acquisition of Lincoln Waste Solutions as we scale up our US waste management platform to establish a leading position and mark another major strategic milestone in our journey.

“Looking forward, I have never been more energised by Reconomy’s prospects and the future of our business. We are delivering exceptional growth and these acquisitions add to our growing momentum as we continue to build out a world-class, tech-enabled, people-powered platform at pace to capture opportunities in the highly attractive international circular economy.” 

The businesses will integrate with Lincoln Waste Solutions, led by CEO John Ayvas and headquartered in Hartford, Connecticut, and will sit in Reconomy’s “Recycle Loop” portfolio – led by Michael Williams, executive vice president of circular solutions for North America. 

Williams said: “After a transformational 2024 for Reconomy which saw our first two US acquisitions, we are delighted to build on this momentum by adding two further high-quality, complimentary brands to the Group.  

“Having successfully scaled our platform across Europe, Reconomy is now embarking on the next phase of our growth strategy by rolling out our proven model and expertise across the US to scale our operations in the world’s largest and most attractive market. These new brands strengthen our offering through Lincoln Waste Solutions, already a leading player in the US waste management sector, to drive further growth in the US this coming year.” 

Reconomy now has operations in over 80 countries and employees more than 4,000 people.
