Strategic partnership enhances hazardous waste capabilities and expands service offerings across Yorkshire and Northern England
Everwaste Solutions is pleased to announce the successful completion of its acquisition of Oates Environmental UK, a leading specialist in hazardous waste management and industrial tank cleaning services. This strategic acquisition significantly strengthens Everwaste’s hazardous waste division and positions the combined organisation as the UK’s most comprehensive waste management solutions provider.
Established in 2000, Oates Environmental has built a distinguished reputation in the highly regulated hazardous waste sector, culminating in the construction of the UK’s newest bespoke Hazardous Waste Transfer Station in 2016. The company’s expertise in hazardous waste disposal, industrial liquid effluent treatment and cutting-edge ultrafiltration recycling technology perfectly complements Everwaste’s existing capabilities.
“This acquisition represents a significant milestone in our strategic growth plan,” said Iain Cook, CEO of Everwaste Solutions. “Oates Environmental brings invaluable expertise and proven capabilities that fill a critical gap in our service portfolio. Their specialised knowledge in hazardous waste management, combined with their modern facilities, will enable us to offer truly comprehensive waste solutions to our clients.”
Dave Smithson, Head of Hazardous Waste at Everwaste, added: “The Oates team’s extensive experience in compliance, safety standards and environmental sustainability will be instrumental as we expand our service offerings. Their Carr Crofts Waste Treatment Facility in Leeds has become the go-to destination for hazardous waste management in Yorkshire and Northern England.”
Enhanced Service Capabilities
The acquisition enables Everwaste to offer clients a complete range of hazardous waste services, including:
- Industrial liquid effluent assessment, collection and treatment with up to 100% recyclability
- Comprehensive hazardous waste audits and classification
- Decontamination, cleaning and decommissioning services
- Advanced ultrafiltration recycling technology for sustainable waste treatment
- Complete regulatory compliance across all waste streams
- End-to-end solutions for industrial clients with complex waste profiles
Oates Environmental’s cutting-edge liquid effluent recycling technology, installed in 2016, positions the combined organisation at the forefront of sustainable waste treatment. Their ultrafiltration treatment technology enables the recycling and reuse of liquid waste streams, significantly reducing environmental impact while conserving water resources.
Strengthening Market Position
With the addition of Oates Environmental, Everwaste’s brand family now includes Neales Waste Management, Quercia, Calder Valley Skips, and Opes. This strategic expansion transforms Everwaste, enabling them to become comprehensive waste management solution provider, working with partners to tailor these solutions to their specific needs, with the ability to address evolving legislation and increasingly complex waste classification requirements.
The acquisition provides Everwaste with enhanced geographical coverage and a strengthened presence across Yorkshire and Northern England, while offering clients expanded sustainability options through advanced recycling and treatment technologies.
Looking Forward
As part of the integration process, Everwaste will be conducting meetings and site visits to ensure a smooth transition and foster collaboration between teams. The company remains committed to supporting all Oates Environmental employees through the transition period while maintaining the high standards of service and safety that both organisations are known for.
“We are excited to welcome the entire Oates Environmental team to the Everwaste family,” concluded Cook. “Their proven track record and specialised expertise will be invaluable assets as we continue to innovate and grow. Together, we’re building a stronger, more capable organisation that can tackle any waste management challenge.”
