Viridor is the largest UK-owned recycling, renewable energy & waste management company. Viridor announced that all its recyclable plastic waste will be reprocessed in the UK from 2020 as part of the company’s recycling investment programme. Its full range of services includes: recycling and waste advice and auditing; advanced materials recycling; glass and plastics reprocessing; composting; mechanical & biological treatment; anaerobic digestion; waste to energy; transport; collection; landfill disposal; and habitat restoration and management. Each year, Viridor transforms over two million tonnes of materials into high quality recyclate, and yet more into over 760 gigawatt hours of renewable energy. In total it safely manages over eight million tonnes of recyclables and waste materials for customers from all sectors across the UK. Employing over 3,200 people, Viridor strives to be an environmentally, socially and economically sustainable business. All sites and services are operated under the company’s business management system incorporating the highest environmental, quality and health and safety standards.

We trade around 1.4 million tonnes of recycled materials each year. Viridor Resource Management is Viridor’s in-house trading division focused on providing this material for remanufacture. Our primary focus is on the following commodities:

• Paper & Cardboard
• Metals
• Polymers & Plastics 
• Glass

Quality control and compliance are paramount at our recycling facilities which produce a range of recycled products that meet industry standards offering manufacturers a competitive alternative feedstock versus sourcing virgin stock.

This is a sophisticated and complex operation made simple by our insight into the manufacturing sector.
