About Clean Earth

Clean Earth is a provider of environmental services including de-characterization, remediation, disposal, recycling, and beneficial reuse for hazardous and non-hazardous wastes, contaminated soil, wastewater and dredged material. Clean Earth serves a variety of industries including infrastructure, chemical, utilities, industrial, commercial, retail, and healthcare markets.

Value Creation

  • Worked with management to execute an aggressive add-on acquisition strategy, repositioning the company’s end markets and customer base while broadening its facility footprint and permit portfolio.
  • Completed accretive add-ons of seven environmental services providers, representing approximately $100 million of annual revenue and expanding the Company’s footprint from 12 to 27 fixed facilities across the United States
    • Transformed revenue mix from primarily soil to majority hazardous waste treatment, which is higher margin, more programmatic and less indexed to macroeconomic fluctuations 
    • Shifted contaminated materials end markets from primarily commercial to majority infrastructure 
    • Developed advanced reporting and analytical systems to manage operational integration and track performance of the add-ons 

How We Work: We seek companies with purpose and staying power—businesses that dominate their space and are built to endure.
