Regulatory Updates & Enforcement (2025):

✅ February 2025: Alabama: medical-waste rule changes became effective (Feb 14, 2025). Phase 1 rearranged requirements and went into effect; Phase 2 (generator registration, storage time changes) was proposed and expected to follow in draft form.

✅ March 2025: EPA - implementation timing for hazardous-pharmaceuticals/Hazardous Waste amendments: EPA delayed certain effective dates in early Feb and set new effective timing for several amendments (management standards/amendments published Dec 2024) with an effective date in March 2025. These hazardous-pharma / generator rule changes have implications for healthcare waste streams (pharmaceutical hazardous waste segregation, management).

✅ July 2025: EPA updates Clean Air Act / small waste-incinerator standards (NSPS) - July notice (effective date later in 2025). EPA published updates to NSPS for small waste incinerators in mid-2025 (rule updates announced in July; effective date noted later in 2025). This affects emissions standards for facilities that operate medical-waste incinerators.

Mergers & Acquisitions in 2025:

✅ June 2025 (reported June 26, 2025): Veolia - acquired New England Disposal Technologies and New England MedWaste (Massachusetts). These deals expanded Veolia's permitted medical-waste disposal footprint in Massachusetts (Veolia now operates the state's only permitted medical-waste disposal facility and expanded hazardous/household hazardous waste sites). This is a targeted regional consolidation in medical/hazardous waste services.

✅ November 2025 (announced Nov 21, 2025): Veolia - agreement to acquire Clean Earth (announced Nov 21, 2025). This is a large hazardous-waste / TSDF acquisition (Clean Earth has many operating permits) - it meaningfully increases Veolia's U.S. hazardous (including healthcare-related hazardous) waste footprint. (Note: this is a broader hazardous-waste play that impacts the medical waste treatment/TSDF landscape.)
