Omaha, Nebraska (July 14, 2023) – CQuence Health, a holding company that invests in innovators in the healthcare industry, has announced a new investment partnership with WasteMedX.

The eco-friendly WasteMedX is a cleaner, safer, more sustainable waste solution for healthcare organizations. The company’s service helps protect hospital staff through safer elimination of potentially hazardous waste while producing a healthier environment by minimizing pollutants and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

WasteMedX’s technology reduces the volume of medical waste by approximately 90% and sterilizes shredded waste using ozone treatment technology. With the push of a button, waste is weighed, shredded, sterilized and transferred to a disposal container. WasteMedX’s full-service pickup and transportation further ensures the prompt, safe removal of medical waste.

Benefits include reduced waste cost, cleaner waste processes, faster processes, reduced greenhouse gas emissions and easy electronic waste tracking.

“We are truly invested in the success of the companies we support,” said Mike Cassling, CQuence chairman and CEO. “WasteMedX is an innovative company whose service provides value to communities across the country. Their impact on both healthcare and the waste industry shows that it’s possible to reduce costs and improve sustainability, and that’s exactly why we’re excited to offer funding and an array of additional services to this fast-growing business.”

The Omaha-based company sets itself apart from traditional investment companies by offering a blend of strategic guidance, professional services and investment capital, all tailored to a particular company’s evolving needs. Through the new investment partnership, WasteMedX will utilize all three offerings.
