Clean Recycling Technology and Waste Management from Sterecycle

Overview

Sterecycle is a waste management business focused on recycling and green energy. We have our own patented technologies that are capable of recycling and recovering up to 80% of the typical household waste stream.

Since June 2008 Sterecycle has been operating a full scale plant in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, that is capable of processing 100,000 tonnes per annum of waste. This is the world’s first full scale commercial autoclave plant to treat residual household waste. The plant is processing “black-bag” waste from 3 local authorities under a contract for up to 10 years: Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council, Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council and Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council. Commercial and trade waste is also processed. Whilst autoclaving has been used for a number of years for sterilising small batches of medical waste, Sterecycle has pioneered its use at industrial scale and for recycling municipal solid waste. Sterecycle’s unique autoclaving system is highly energy efficient when integrated with a green energy plant and is self-sustaining with a beneficial carbon footprint. Sterecycle’s technology is protected by a series of granted patents and patent applications, and the experience gained over 3 years of continuous operation.

Our business model is to build, own and operate waste recycling plants, processing residual waste as a substitute for landfill. Sterecycle is a well-funded business, backed by blue chip investors including Fidelity International, Impax Asset Management and Aston Hill Financial. Sterecycle currently has 60 full time employees and is expanding the Rotherham plant from 100,000 tonnes per annum to 240,000 tonnes per annum. We plan to have 5 plants operational by 2016 (employing approximately 300 staff), including in Cardiff and London, where planning permission at sites has already been granted.
