Mitie has acquired Cliniwaste, a specialist provider of clinical waste collection, disposal and materials recycling services to NHS and pharma clients.
Established in 2019 to support the NHS in solving a healthcare waste backlog, Cliniwaste processes waste materials including hospital gowns, gloves, face masks and other items made from single-use plastics at two UK sites in Nottingham and Bradford.
Managing director, Peter Wightwick, will join Mitie’s Waste business, with the acquisition creating opportunities for the facility services provider to extend the company's innovative approach to recycling beyond the healthcare sector to other verticals that send plastic waste to landfill including education, care homes and water utilities.
Cliniwaste will expand Mitie’s ability to provide sustainable waste management solutions that embrace the circular economy
Michael Taylor, Managing Director, Mitie Waste and Environmental, says: “Our philosophy is ‘resource, not waste’.
Having already worked closely together for several years, we look forward to working with the Cliniwaste team to deliver safe and sustainable clinical waste services across the UK’s healthcare sector and beyond.”
By combining our unique expertise and niche capabilities with Mitie’s stature and position in the UK’s waste sector, we will be able to support more of the UK’s healthcare industry in their decarbonisation ambitions.”
Mitie is a natural home for Cliniwaste to enable us to flourish and grow.
