Blue Planet Environmental Solutions Pte. Ltd., a provider sustainable waste management solutions, has acquired Smart Environmental Group Ltd. (Smart), one of New Zealand’s top three waste management firms.

This strategic move solidifies Blue Planet's presence in the Asia-Pacific region and reinforces its commitment to advancing innovative, sustainable practices in the waste management sector.

Founded in 2017, Blue Planet has provided waste management solutions across Singapore, Malaysia, India, and the UK. With its stronghold in New Zealand’s municipal, commercial, and consumer waste sectors, Smart collects over 300,000 tons of waste annually, focusing on consolidation, processing, and resource recovery.

Todd McLeay, CEO of Smart, expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration, as he said, “Partnering with Blue Planet enables us to scale operations and leverage proven global solutions, including landfill remediation and organics processing, to achieve sustainable outcomes for New Zealand.”

Simon Moutter, Chairman of Smart, noted, “This partnership marks an exciting chapter for Smart. I’m eager to work with Blue Planet to strengthen our market position and expand our impact.”

Madhujeet Chimni, Chairman of Blue Planet, pointed out, “Smart is a natural fit for our mission of driving innovation in waste management. This partnership enhances our Asia-Pacific presence and sets the stage for transformative growth.”

With New Zealand enacting progressive regulations to reduce landfill use and boost recycling rates, the Blue Planet-Smart collaboration is set to deliver impactful solutions, furthering sustainability goals and community benefits.
