Viridor is one of the UK's leading recycling, renewable energy and waste management companies. Part of the FTSE 250 Pennon Group, Viridor puts waste into action, transforming it into high quality recyclables, raw materials and energy.

Our purpose encompasses everything that we do.  We're giving the world’s resources new life. Whether those resources are collected by our vehicles from a primary school in Kent or delivered into our Energy Recovery Facilities in Cardiff or Runcorn, we transform ‘waste’ into the items and energy that society will need tomorrow.Gone is the traditional ‘waste’ collection and disposal company. To achieve our purpose we have established two distinct business units, Recycling and Resources andEnergy. These business units help us to focus our time and expertise on the services that our customers want.The priority for our SME customers may be a reliable local service at an affordable cost; our corporate customers may be seeking flexibility and added sustainability benefits and our local authority customers may need to find ways to continue to increase their recycling levels and divert waste away from landfill whilst also minimising their costs. Our energy division, meanwhile, will consistently focus on squeezing the last drop of value from non-recyclable ‘waste’ and continue to lead the UK’s resources industry in establishing next-generation technologies allowing us to generate high levels of green energy.We use our strategic expertise combined with local knowledge and friendly service to offer all ‘waste’ producers an opportunity to join with us to help give the world’s resources new life.Viridor is part of the FTSE 250 Pennon Group plc. We are committed to creating and delivering value for our customers and  stakeholders whilst making a positive contribution to the development of our employees and the environment.Our operations and services are all about recycling and energy recovery; helping to deliver the waste hierarchy that is now enshrined in UK waste policy.The wide range of recycling treatment technologies we use, including advanced and standard materials recycling facilities, mechanical biological treatment plants, composting and household waste recycling centres, means that we are able to put more of society's waste into action.After transforming as much material as we can into high quality recyclates for re-manufacturing, we then recover energy from the non-recyclable, residual wastes using anaerobic digestion, gas extraction and thermal technologies to offset fossil fuel-based energy generation.Essential additional support services include convenient collections, waste transfer, transport and safe disposal for other wastes and residues.If you would like to see how our operations can help meet your business needs, contact us to get a quote.
