Already a world\u2019s leader of hazardous waste services and technologies, the Group now becomes the second-largest player in the U.S., opening a new phase of growth for the company in the country. The transaction is expected to be accretive from 2027 excluding Purchase Price Allocation adjustments, and confirms all announced financial objectives related to the integration including expected synergies.<\/p><p>\nHazardous waste treatment has become a strategic sector in the U.S., driven by rising industrial demand, tighter environmental standards and the expansion of high-growth industries requiring specialized treatment solutions. From health care, pharmaceuticals and retail to advanced manufacturing, semiconductors and clean-energy production, etc., access to reliable treatment capacity is now essential to production continuity, expansion and competitiveness. Without sufficient infrastructure, companies face an increasing operational and strategic bottleneck that could limit industrial growth and reshoring ambitions, while also creating risks for public health and the environment.<\/p><p>\n<i>\u201cThis is a tremendously significant transaction at a time when the U.S. and the world are facing unprecedented environmental security challenges that are testing the limits of our resilience and competitiveness. It strengthens our position in the growing U.S. hazardous waste market, unlocks strong value creation potential and further targets our offerings to the most dynamic sectors of the American economy. Combined with the acceleration of our asset rotation program, it reinforces Veolia\u2019s capacity to address the growing demand for environmental security,\u201d<\/i><b> said Estelle Brachlianoff, CEO of Veolia.<\/b><\/p><p>\n<i>\u201cVeolia is truly an environmental services company like no other, and combining our strengths with those of Clean Earth creates a new world of possibilities for Veolia as well as the industries we serve. With Clean Earth, we are building a national platform to address environmental security challenges and setting the benchmark for safety, compliance and innovation in the industry,\u201d<\/i> said <b>Nad\u00e8ge Petit, CEO of the North America Zone<\/b>. <i>\u201cWe are excited to welcome our new colleagues from Clean Earth, who share our deep commitment to safety, compliance, customer service excellence and sustainability. Together, we are transforming the hazardous waste industry while making a difference for the customers and communities we serve through an expanded asset base and innovative treatments, such as PFAS and other emerging contaminants.\u201d<\/i><\/p><p>\n<b>Expanded treatment network bring new strengths<\/b><\/p><p>\nVeolia effectively doubles its hazardous waste management offerings and expands its customer service and treatment network to all corners of the country, including regions new to Veolia such as the Pacific Northwest. This will bring advanced treatment, disposal and end-to-end waste management solutions to more customers, unlocking new business opportunities, improving logistics and strengthening the Group\u2019s ability to serve major retail and healthcare clients across their nationwide operations.<\/p><p>\nVeolia now provides hazardous waste services at more than 150 locations throughout the U.S., with six high temperature RCRA<sup>2<\/sup> permitted incineration units, 33 EPA-permitted treatment facilities and more than a thousand operating permits to serve client needs.
