Montrose Environmental Group-Backed TreaTech Installs First Circular Waste Treatment Unit

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. & LONAY, Switzerland-- Montrose Environmental Group, Inc. ("Montrose" or "the Company") (NYSE: MEG), a high-growth global environmental solutions company, today shared that TreaTech, a Montrose-backed waste treatment technology, has installed its first circular waste treatment unit, VISTA, at Ecorecyclage's treatment site in Lavigny, Switzerland.

TreaTech has brought innovative technology to market that uses catalytic hydrothermal gasification to convert a broad range of waste streams into reusable resources, such as methane-rich renewable gas, in a circular and cost-efficient manner. VISTA will convert multiple types of industrial, agricultural and municipal waste streams into renewable gas that can immediately be injected into the natural gas distribution network of EcoRecyclage's parent company, Holdigaz Group, a major player in the Swiss energy and building sectors. It is expected to validate TreaTech's ability to continuously treat organic waste 24-hours a day at a waste management facility at up to 200kg of waste per hour.

Vijay Manthripragada, President & CEO of Montrose Environmental Group and TreaTech Board Member, said: "We are thrilled with the progress made by the TreaTech team. Montrose is focused on helping communities convert waste into valuable resources and we believe the TreaTech technology and team are among the most innovative and compelling. We don't want waste to be wasted. Our hope is to further energy access and community development in a more environmentally sustainable way. We are excited and grateful for the deepening partnership between TreaTech and HoldiGaz. As the TreaTech technology is further validated, we believe there will be many future opportunities to support communities with waste reuse around the world."

With population growth and economic development placing increasing pressure on existing waste disposal processes, the need for sustainable waste-to-energy solutions that extract the maximum value from all waste streams has never been greater. Countries across the globe are striving for energy independence and seeking to invest in waste treatment solutions, like TreaTech, to create local and sustainable supplies of renewable gas. TreaTech's technologies offer an alternative to traditional incineration used to dispose of waste that releases a considerable amount of CO2 into the atmosphere and doesn't recover water.

Jacob Stern, Vice President of RNG at Montrose Environmental Group, added: "Renewable energy has historically been limited to select feedstocks. We are excited to leverage TreaTech's technology to solve the problem of energy recovery from feedstocks that aren't suitable for anaerobic digestion."

Montrose plans to bring TreaTech's technology to the U.S. in 2025 for application with waste streams across the food and beverage, agricultural and livestock, municipal waste and chemical sectors.
