VLS Environmental Solutions, LLC, a Houston-based environmental services company and a portfolio company of I Squared Capital, has acquired SRE Environmental, a waste management solutions company in Phoenix, Arizona.

The company also offers solid waste management solutions and other industrial services to serve the diverse and growing needs of its clients.
SRE’s evaporation ponds provide safe, economic, and low carbon disposal solutions for compatible wastewaters. Using solar evaporation as the sole source of treatment, the facility is designed for zero discharge and zero processing. This provides clients with an environmentally friendly and a low-emission option for the treatment and disposal of compatible wastewaters.
The combined company has over 1,000 employees and 40 locations nationwide. The acquisition of SRE is the 12th acquisition by VLS since 2017 and the fourth in the last twelve months. VLS is actively pursuing both organic and inorganic opportunities to continue to expand its environmental services capabilities to support the waste industry.
