Envirotreat Continues to Invest

Envirotreat’s Analytical & Development Centre continues to grow with the purchase of a new Gas Chromatograph, two auto samplers and a Total Organic Carbon (TOC) Analyser to further support core remediation business and waste treatment activities.

This purchase allows Envirotreat to fully focus on providing an optimised Total Solutions package for on site contamination issues and ensures there is a robust platform in place for ongoing Research and Development programs.

Technical Manager David Slater said “This equipment means we can now find out much sooner how a proposed strategy will perform and also allow us to the test the suitability of new waste streams to be treated using E-Clay and other treatment technologies”.

E-Synergy unveils £1 million Sustainable Technology Fund investment in hazardous waste specialist Envirotreat

The Sustainable Technology Fund managed by E-Synergy has invested £1 million in toxic soil and waste remediation specialist Envirotreat Ltd.

E-Synergy led the £1.7 million investment round which also included £350 and £325k respectively from co-investors Pre-X and Catapult Venture Managers. Following the investment, Envirotreat has appointed Duncan Martin, former director of hazardous waste at Veolia Environmental Services, as chief executive to lead its next growth stage.

Envirotreat is an established company that has successfully developed and commercialised proprietary technologies for the treatment and remediation of contaminated land including more than 60 sites that have been cleaned up for both residential and commercial end-use.

The West Midlands headquartered company was recently presented with the Rushlight Pollution Management award in recognition of its superior proprietary E-Clay stabilisation technology which allows the on-site treatment of contaminated land.

The Company plans to use the investment funding for further development, expand the sales and marketing effort, invest in plant for both on-site soil remediation and landfill pre-treatment, expand the technology base and to invest in international licensing opportunities.

Sam Richardson, E-Synergy’s Investment Director of the STF, will join Envirotreat as a director. “Envirotreat has IP protected technology, established revenues and an experienced management team with an excellent track record of completing more than 60 contracts,” he said.

Envirotreat’s new Chief Executive Duncan Martin said: “I am delighted to have taken up this appointment and excited about the challenge of building on the Envirotreat platform and the E-Clay technology. There is a pressing need for treatment technologies as environmental regulations tighten, and with this latest round of funding Envirotreat is in a strong position to build on its impressive reputation in the market.”

Envirotreat’s chairman Richard Saville said, “ We are very pleased to have not only completed our refinancing but also to have recruited Duncan Martin to lead the Company forward. I am certain that STF will prove to be very supportive shareholders, encouraging Duncan and his team to more than achieve our growth targets”

The funding is the eighth investment by the STF, a £30 million UK limited partnership fund backed by a mix of institutional and private investors focusing on investing in UK companies developing clean and efficient industrial processes.

A Double for Envirotreat at the Rushlight Awards

A great all round year for Envirotreat ended on a high note when the company picked up not one, but two awards at the recent Rushlight Awards in London.

Both awards were in recognition of the company’s patented E-Clay stabilisation technology and how it has been used within a range of environment related undertakings. The first award was for Envirotreat’s achievements in the Land Remediation sector and the second prestigious award came in the overall 'Pollution Management' sector where Envirotreat were in competition with the winners of the air and noise pollution individual categories.

The purpose of The Rushlight Awards is to recognise leading environmental technologies and the benefits that such undertakings bring to ensuring improved and sustainable business practices. With a highly impressive range of major companies already involved within this inaugural year of the awards the message of promoting whole life solutions was certainly one that Envirotreat were delighted to be associated with.
