The new company will provide clinical waste management services to the National Health Service and other healthcare providers. It will have eight sites across England and Wales.
The company’s daily operation managed by Tradebe, will include specialist collections and disposal services for chemically and biologically contaminated material and sharp implements, which operate three incinerators and six disinfection technology facilities for standard orange bag waste.
Tradebe Healthcare general manager Richard Brown said that the joint venture will provide a better opportunity to grow the business.
"We are combining the strength of Tradebe’s alternative technology processing with SITA UK’s high temperature incineration plants, which means we will be one of only two clinical waste companies in the UK to be able to offer both disposal options," Brown added.
"We will also be able to serve customers across the whole of England and Wales."
SITA UK CEO David Palmer-Jones said, "Combining the two companies’ expertise into a specialist clinical waste management company will further enhance the service we provide for customers."
