Mariana WM

Mariana WM was created to provide our clients with a modern, fully compliant and sustainable solution for the processing of their Alternative Treatment and Offensive waste. Focussing on creating state-of-the-art treatment facilities on NHS Hospital sites, our model is to both service the host hospital’s EWC 18 01 03* and EWC 18 01 04 waste, as well as servicing other clinical waste producers and management companies in the local area, helping all of our clients to significantly lower their carbon miles for the transportation of waste.

Our award winning Sterilwave solution is the most innovative ‘on-site’ medical waste treatment service seen by the NHS in over two decades. Our modern waste process intelligently grinds then microwaves the waste into a sterile RDF “flock” that is completely safe to handle and is disposed of as a high calorific fuel source in Waste to Energy plants. Our process is extremely “green” with zero emissions to atmosphere and sewer, and with a low energy draw.

Our current Plant facilities are based within the M25 but we plan to open further facilities on NHS hospital sites in the South and into the rest of UK over the next 3 years. We look to work with a select number of clinical waste management companies who operate in the area near to our hospital plant sites. By doing this, we can ensure that we provide our clients with the highest level of service and enable them to safely, simply and swiftly deliver waste into us.
