Clym Environmental Services, LLC celebrated the opening of its new processing facility in Frostburg, Maryland, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on August 27, 2026. The event drew more than 100 attendees, including elected officials, industry leaders, and community partners, who gathered to mark the company's expansion into Western Maryland.
The ceremony featured a VIP tour of the facility, information stations on the company's ozone treatment technology, and a display by Energy Select, the solar company that installed the facility's solar system. The solar-powered operation underscores Clym's commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions associated with traditional waste treatment methods.
The program included remarks from regional and state leaders. Juli McCoy, President & CEO of the Allegany County Chamber of Commerce, highlighted the facility's role in creating living-wage jobs and its synergy with Frostburg State University. Maryland Commerce Secretary Harry Coker, Allegany County Commissioner Bill Atkinson, and Kelly Schulz, CEO of the Maryland Tech Council, also spoke, emphasizing the economic and environmental benefits of the project.
A highlight of the event was the presentation of a congressional certificate of recognition on behalf of Congresswoman April McClain Delaney. Kendall Abruzzese, the congresswoman's Western Maryland Outreach Coordinator, praised Clym's pioneering work in environmentally friendly waste management biotechnology and its contribution to workforce opportunities and long-term economic growth in the region.
Once fully operational, the Frostburg facility will use Clym's proprietary ozone treatment technology to process biohazardous material into safe, reusable materials. The technology generates ozone from ambient air and is powered by solar energy, offering a sustainable alternative to thermal treatment methods. This approach significantly reduces the carbon footprint of biohazardous waste disposal, a critical advancement for the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries.
The opening follows several milestones for Clym, including winning the Life Sciences Innovation of the Year award at the Maryland Tech Council's 2026 ICON Awards. This recognition highlights the company's role in advancing sustainable waste management practices across the eastern United States. As Clym continues to grow, the Frostburg facility reinforces its position as a leader in regulated waste management and compliance solutions for the life sciences, healthcare, and industrial sectors.
The new facility is expected to create employment opportunities in the region and contribute to the local economy. It also represents a significant investment in environmentally responsible technology, aligning with broader efforts to reduce industrial environmental impact.
