VeoliaDeal Evidence / independent capstone

Three small deals, one early test

The tuck-ins cost little, but they show what happens to the KPI when Veolia buys tonnes. They are the first real data point on the method Clean Earth will follow.

Small next to Clean Earth

Veolia paid net for three US businesses in May and June 2025. That is of the Clean Earth price.

They matter for a different reason: they should already be in the FY2025 KPI, so they are the first look at what buying tonnes does to it.

New England Disposal Technologies

Bought on 2 May 2025 for . It handles hazardous waste, remediation and spill response in Massachusetts, with an estimated vehicles.

Together with the next deal, Veolia now runs two of the state’s three permitted household hazardous waste sites.

New England MedWaste

Booked as Bio-Med Innovations, for . It is the only permitted medical waste facility in Massachusetts, with an autoclave of up to tons a day.

The open question is simple: does autoclaved medical waste count in the hazardous KPI? At full capacity it would be up to a year.

Ingenium

The largest of the three: on 24 June 2025. It packages, moves and consolidates waste from Escondido, California, with an estimated staff, vehicles and ten-day transfer stations.

It is Clean Earth in miniature: first a capacity deal, then the purchase. Veolia said this gave it “a two-month head start on internalization”.

One block out of ninety-two

Veolia counted about of new M&A treatment capacity. That is of the KPI. Small, but not nothing.

If it all ran full in 2025, like-for-like growth falls from to . Capacity is not tonnes treated, so this is a limit, not a measure.

Three tests they let us run early

Does bought capacity count?

The tuck-ins should be in the FY2025 figure, and Veolia publishes no like-for-like number. Asking for their 2025 tonnes is the cheapest way to prove recommendation one.

Does internalisation happen?

Ingenium has been owned for over a year. If its waste now goes to Veolia incinerators, that is the real change the KPI cannot show. The share is not published.

Does local power rise?

In Massachusetts, Veolia now holds the only medical waste site and two of three household hazardous sites. That is an advantage for Veolia, and a risk for its customers and regulators.

Cheap against Clean Earth, if the 9x holds

Veolia described its tuck-ins at about . If that covers these three, they brought about of EBITDA. Clean Earth cost 2025 EBITDA, or more.

Ingenium’s price is about its 2021 revenue, the last figure we found. That revenue is old, so treat this as a rough guide.

Price per tonne shows why definitions matter. The tuck-ins cost of capacity. Clean Earth costs or , depending on what you count.

The 9M 2026 release shows Hazardous Waste revenue up with tuck-ins and without. That gap is about , but it also holds Enviropacific and Chameleon, so it is not a reading of these three.

Chameleon Industries () closed the same day as Ingenium. The brief does not name it, so we leave it out of the totals. With it, the 2025 tuck-ins reach .
