Perma-Fix Environmental Services and Mirion Technologies have officially formed a strategic partnership to target Department of Energy (DOE) and federal nuclear cleanup opportunities.
Perma-Fix Environmental Services, Inc., a worldwide leader in nuclear waste management and environmental remediation services, announced the formation of a strategic collaboration with Mirion Technologies, under the Small Business Administration's mentor-protégé program.
The formation of the strategic collaboration reinforces Perma-Fix's leadership in the U.S. nuclear cleanup sector in support of the Department of Energy (DOE) and its Office of Environmental Management's mission to lower challenges from the Cold War nuclear legacy and advance safe, permanent services for complex radioactive and hazardous waste.
"This Partnership represents a natural evolution of Perma-Fix's strategy to expand our leadership across the DOE environmental management landscape. As cleanup missions continue to grow in complexity, we believe customers increasingly value solutions that combine specialized treatment infrastructure, radiological expertise, and disciplined execution. Perma-Fix's waste management and remediation capabilities are the cornerstone of this Partnership, and Mirion's instrumentation expertise further strengthens our ability to compete for and support larger, more technically demanding cleanup opportunities," said Mark Duff, President and Chief Executive Officer of Perma-Fix
The Perma-Fix and Mirion Technologies collaboration leverages Perma-Fix's more than 30 years of knowledge in nuclear waste management, environmental remediation, project management, and waste disposition, complemented by Mirion Technologies' expertise in radiation lowers, measurement, monitoring, and progressive nuclear instrumentation. The collaboration focuses on opportunities including advanced waste characterization and segregation, radiological measurement and non-destructive assay, waste processing, packaging, transportation, and disposal support for complex nuclear and environmental remediation projects. Together, the collaboration is intended to support earlier and more precise waste segregation, optimized disposal pathways, lower disposal expenses and timelines, and enhanced project execution in major DOE cleanup agendas.
The Mentor-Protégé relationship aligns with Perma-Fix's wider approaches of increasing its participation in long-duration nuclear cleanup and waste management programs. As the organization continues to invest in treatment capacity, permitting, and operational readiness in its nuclear platform, management believes strategic partnerships like this can further strengthen Perma-Fix's ability to address emerging federal remediation opportunities, involving longstanding experience at significant DOE facilities like Los Alamos National Laboratory.
According to Towards Healthcare, the North America cannabis waste disposal market is projected to experience significant growth, with estimates suggesting the market size will increase from USD 390.45 million in 2026 to approximately USD 1259.73 million by 2035. expanding at a CAGR of 13.9% from 2026 to 2035. Cannabis waste disposal and valorization renovate leftover plant biomass, trimmings, and stalks into sustainable resources. Significant applications involve organic composting for nutrient-rich soil, anaerobic digestion to make renewable biogas energy, thermochemical gasification for synthetic fuels, and industrial processing in textiles, bioplastics, and natural cosmetics. Cannabis waste is disposed of in a permitted landfill, incineration, composting, or by means of in-vessel digestion.
Perma-Fix Environmental Services, Inc. is a nuclear services organization and leading provider of nuclear and integrated waste management solutions. The organization's nuclear waste services involve management and treatment of radioactive and mixed waste for clinics, research labs, and organizations, federal agencies involving the DOE, the U.S. Department of War (DOW), and the commercial nuclear industry. The Company's nuclear services group offers project management, waste management, environmental restoration, decontamination and decommissioning, novel build construction, and radiological protection, safety, and industrial hygiene services to its customers. The organization operates four nuclear waste treatment facilities and offers nuclear solutions at DOE, DOW, and commercial services nationwide.
A recent report by Towards Healthcare highlights that the North America cannabis waste disposal market is growing as cannabis disposal solution supports confirm compliance, protect the environment, and cultivate safe community solutions. Cannabis disposal services support by managing the disposal of recalled or failed cannabis products and by addressing the difficult solutions of removing them to stay in compliance with government and state regulations. These particular solutions handle cannabis waste appropriately by reducing any latent environmental and public health challenges. Cannabis waste is disposed of in a permitted landfill, by incineration, composting, or by means of in-vessel digestion. In addition to organic waste generation in the cannabis organization, government and state regulations require durable childproof packaging for both hemp and cannabis-associated products.
