Arcwood Environmental Expands with MXI Acquisition

Arcwood Environmental, a prominent player in the field of sustainable waste management and environmental services, recently announced an exciting acquisition that aims to enhance its capacity and reach. The company has successfully acquired MXI Environmental Services, also known for its work in Dynamic Recycling, thereby reinforcing Arcwood's position in the industry.

Strengthening Waste Management Capabilities

This acquisition, which took place on January 7, 2026, marks a significant step for Arcwood as it seeks to optimize its waste transportation and management capabilities across the Eastern United States. With MXI being a recognized provider of both hazardous and non-hazardous waste management services, this merger represents a strategic move towards solidifying Arcwood's operational foothold in a growing market.

HP Nanda, the CEO of Arcwood, shared his enthusiasm about the acquisition, stating, "Our goal is to become the most trusted partner in the environmental services industry. The acquisition of MXI, along with its strong customer relationships and talented workforce, brings us another step closer to reaching that goal." This sentiment highlights the importance of MXI's customer service focus, which resonates well with Arcwood’s organizational values.

MXI's Expertise

MXI, which boasts a skilled team of over 150 employees, has been instrumental in establishing safe and compliant handling of regulated materials. Their comprehensive services include recycling programs aimed at reducing environmental footprints, making them a reliable partner for both businesses and local government entities. Their efforts in managing Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) and recycling programs showcase their capacity to align with Arcwood’s sustainability goals.

MXI President, Ronald Potter, expressed his excitement about continuing MXI's mission within Arcwood, stating, "Our vision has always been to build a truly national household hazardous waste and solvent-recycling program, and this transaction offers us the opportunities we need to fulfill that vision. After nearly 40 years of family ownership, we are excited about the potential ahead with Arcwood's support."

Operational Impact and Future Prospects

In terms of practical operations, MXI efficiently conducts community collection events as well as permanent drop-off programs. Their dedicated trucking fleet and trained field team ensure that waste management is both effective and environmentally responsible. Notably, MXI processes around 19 million pounds of household hazardous waste annually, further solidifying its role as a full-service provider for municipal and government programs across the region.

As part of this new chapter, the coordination hub in Langhorne, PA and the materials recovery facility in Abingdon, VA are expected to play pivotal roles in supporting the expansion efforts.

This acquisition is the third such announcement from Arcwood within six months, the company having acquired ERG Environmental Group in October 2025 and Innovative Recycling Technologies two months prior. Such aggressive expansion signals Arcwood's commitment to being a leader in environmental solutions and its strategy to agilely adapt to industry demands.

Conclusion

Arcwood Environmental’s acquisition of MXI Environmental Services represents not just a merger of operational capabilities, but also a partnership that emphasizes the commitment to sustainability and customer service. As both companies work together, they can tackle the most pressing waste management challenges facing industries today, paving the way for a cleaner, more responsible future.
