Description: CLH Clean Harbors

Clean Harbors, Inc. (CLH) is a leading provider of environmental, industrial, and waste management services across North America. The company operates through two primary divisions: Environmental Services and Safety-Kleen Sustainability Solutions. Its core business involves the collection, transportation, and disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous materials through a network of incinerators, landfills, and wastewater treatment facilities.

The company utilizes a vertically integrated business model, controlling the entire waste lifecycle from initial collection to final disposal. This infrastructure creates high barriers to entry due to the stringent regulatory requirements and capital intensity associated with hazardous waste permits and specialized treatment facilities. Additionally, the Safety-Kleen segment focuses on the circular economy by re-refining used motor oil into high-quality lubricants and base oils.
