PALM BEACH, Florida, January 30, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

MarketNewsUpdates.com News Commentary 

The global waste management industry is forecast to swell past $560 billion by 2020,according to Statista.com, as the sector experiences significant growth fueled by a number of factors. One of those factors is the development of innovative technologies and advanced waste collection solutions to enhance collection processes, as well as aid in developing a more green planet. Ample opportunity exists worldwide for smart solutions that can increase efficiency and improve the quality of waste collection services. The waste management market has emerged as amongst the most swiftly developing market. Some of the prominent trends that the market is witnessing include technological advancements, expanding medical waste management services, lack of stringent regulations in developing countries and rising government initiatives. Industry Active companies in the news this week include BioHiTech Global, Inc. (OTC: BHTG), Covanta Holding Corporation (NYSE: CVA), Casella Waste Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: CWST), Waste Management Inc. (NYSE: WM), Republic Services Inc. (NYSE: RSG).

BioHiTech Global, Inc. (OTCQB: BHTG), a green technology company that develops and deploys cost effective, innovative and disruptive waste management technologies, partners with Kinderhook Industries ("Kinderhook"), a private investment firm that manages over $2 billion of committed capital, to create a "next generation" environmental services platform company.  

Through a series of transactions, the two companies completed the acquisition of Gold Medal Services, LLC, a market leader in municipal, commercial, and industrial solid waste collection in the Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey markets as a wholly owned subsidiary of Gold Medal Group, LLC ("Gold Medal"), a newly formed company majority owned by Kinderhook. BioHiTech acquired a 9.2% interest in Gold Medal in exchange for 500,000 shares of common stock. The Company also has an option to acquire an additional $5M interest in Gold Medal over the next 12 months. BioHiTech also entered into a management services agreement, with Gold Medal to provide executive oversight of its operations for fees of $750,000 per year, leveraging the significant experience and proven leadership skills of BioHiTech's management team in the waste service industry. Together, the companies intend to lead a revolutionary transformation of Gold Medal from a traditional waste disposal company to a technology driven, vertically integrated, sustainable waste services provider. Read this and more news for BHTG at http://www.marketnewsupdates.com/news/bhtg.html

"I am pleased to partner with Cor Carruthers, Rob Michalik, and the visionary private equity team at Kinderhook," stated Frank E. Celli, Chief Executive Officer of BioHiTech Global. "Their extensive experience in environmental services and emerging technologies, coupled with their significant financial resources, make them a valuable partner for BioHiTech as we begin to utilize our proprietary technology to set a new standard for sustainable and cost-effective waste disposal in the United States."

BioHiTech sees its investment in Gold Medal and ongoing management services agreement benefiting the Company in several key areas. Gold Medal's footprint of over 6,000 commercial and industrial customer locations in Southern New Jersey and the Philadelphia marketplace, including numerous food waste generators, provides an attractive distribution platform for BioHiTech's on-site Digesters while its municipal waste collection business can offer a significant source of future feedstock for the Company's planned HEBioT facilities. Gold Medal also provides a platform, in one of the most attractive markets in the United States, for Kinderhook and BioHiTech to build a much larger vertically integrated waste services company through organic growth and opportunistic acquisition.  

"We are excited to partner with Frank and BioHiTech as we look to increase our financial presence in this industry," stated Corwynne Carruthers, Managing Director of Kinderhook Industries. "By marrying BioHiTech's cost effective technology and management experience with Gold Medal's business, we believe we have created a platform company with the opportunity to expand on our initial investment and create a best in class, sustainable environmental services company throughout the Mid-Atlantic States."
