At Fornax Environmental Solutions, our mission is to develop state-of-the-art, fully compliant high temperature thermal treatment (HTTT) facilities utilising Best Available Technology and Techniques that will safely and effectively treat clinical and hazardous waste and generate renewable energy.
This will address a critical gap in the UK’s waste management sector. In a sector that has seen years of underinvestment, we are committed to delivering cleaner, greener, and safer solutions for the future.

This will cut down on transport emissions – known as carbon miles.
