The acquisition will see Wastecare’s current operations in hazardous waste management, high-temperature incineration, industrial packaging, plastic recycling and waste processing combined with Cleaneco’s services in aerosol recycling, industrial packaging reconditioning, secure destruction and plastic recovery.
Wastecare said the integration of the two companies would set “new standards in waste processing, circular economy solutions and carbon footprint reduction.”
Peter Hunt, Chairman of Wastecare, commented: “This acquisition marks an exciting new chapter for Wastecare.
“Cleaneco has built an excellent reputation for innovation and service in the waste sector.
“By bringing them into the Wastecare Group, we will strengthen our national network and broaden the range of services we offer, all while continuing our shared commitment to environmental responsibility.”
Cleaneco will operate under the Wastecare Group umbrella, with further details on integration and branding to be announced in the coming months.
The companies said customers could expect “continuity of service, a seamless transition and an expanded service offering as operations are aligned”.
David Cuckney, Managing Director of Cleaneco Group, added: “Becoming part of the Wastecare Group is a fantastic opportunity for Cleaneco’s team, customers and partners.
“We’re proud of what we’ve built, and this move enables us to scale our impact, access new resources and continue delivering industry-leading sustainable solutions.”
Last year, Wastecare partnered with vape manufacturers to roll out recycling pins for their products across B&M stores nationwide.
