About us

Viridor is one of the UK’s leading recycling, renewable energy and waste management companies.

• We gather and sort the items that households and businesses throw away
• We recover anything that can be recycled
• We treat waste to extract any value
• We safely dispose of anything that is left over

To do this and keep up with the huge number of developments in the waste industry, we invest heavily in our treatment and processing equipment to make sure our technology is state-of-the-art.

Viridor is refocusing its business away from simply disposing of society’s wastes towards far higher levels of resource efficiency via the recovery of energy and materials.

As a market leader in recycling and reuse of waste, Viridor partners local councils, helping them to meet waste prevention, recycling and landfill diversion targets. We also provide the private sector with integrated recycling, waste management and specialist solutions.

We operate a range of sites including 20 Materials Recycling Facilities, 2 Energy from Waste plants and 22 Landfills, as well as offering services from waste collection, composting and logistics to skip and bin hire.

Viridor is owned by Pennon Group, a FTSE 250 British based plc focused on the water and waste management industries.

Viridor also supports Viridor Credits, an independent organisation which distributes funds to support environmental and community projects that Viridor would otherwise pay on landfill tax.
