Clym Environmental Services, LLC officially opened its new processing facility in Frostburg, Maryland, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on August 27, 2026, attended by over 100 guests including elected officials and community leaders. The facility is set to employ proprietary ozone treatment technology to process biohazardous material, converting it into safe, reusable materials, with operations powered by solar energy. This approach is designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional thermal treatment methods.
The ceremony featured remarks from state and local leaders, including Maryland Commerce Secretary Harry Coker, Allegany County Commissioner Bill Atkinson, and Kelly Schulz, CEO of the Maryland Tech Council. Juli McCoy, President & CEO of the Allegany County Chamber of Commerce, highlighted the facility's potential to create living-wage jobs and its synergy with Frostburg State University, calling it a perfect fit for the Frostburg Business Park.
During the event, Clym received a certificate of congressional recognition presented on behalf of Congresswoman April McClain Delaney. Kendall Abruzzese, Western Maryland Outreach Coordinator, praised Clym's pioneering work in environmentally friendly waste management biotechnology, noting its contribution to workforce opportunities and long-term economic growth in Western Maryland.
The Frostburg facility's technology uses ozone generated from ambient air, powered by solar panels installed by Energy Select, which hosted a display at the event. Once fully operational, the facility will support Clym's expanding operations across the eastern United States, serving the life sciences, healthcare, and pharmaceutical industries.
This milestone follows Clym's recognition as the Life Sciences Innovation of the Year winner at the Maryland Tech Council's 2026 ICON Awards, underscoring its role in advancing sustainable waste management practices. The facility is poised to become a model for environmentally responsible processing, aligning with broader goals of reducing carbon footprints in industrial operations.
The opening of this facility represents a significant investment in Western Maryland's economy, providing advanced waste processing capabilities while prioritizing environmental stewardship. With its innovative use of ozone and solar energy, Clym is setting a new standard for the industry, demonstrating that sustainability and operational efficiency can go hand in hand.
