Sterecycle Information

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 been operating a full scale plant in Yorkshire that processes 100,000 tonnes per annum of waste. This is the World's 1st 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. 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 forrecycling municipal solid waste. In addition, the facility uses Sterecycle's own unique autoclaving system which is highly energy efficient and integrated with a green energy plant is self-sustaining with a beneficial carbon footprint. Sterecycle's technology is protected by aseries of granted patents and patent applications. 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 Goldman Sachs, Fidelity International and Impax Asset Management. Sterecycle currently has 55 full time employees and with further recycling plants will employ over 300 staff in 2013. We plan to have at least 6 plants operational by 2013 including in Yorkshire, Wales, London and Glasgow.
