Viridor stands as one of the UK’s premier resource and waste management companies, dedicated to driving innovation in resource recovery and recycling. The company is committed to transforming waste for a climate-positive future, aiming to cultivate a world where nothing goes to waste. They operate an expanding network of Energy from Waste (EfW) facilities throughout the UK, which collectively process over 3.5 million tonnes of non-recycled waste each year, contributing significantly to green energy generation and the energy transition.

At the forefront of the circular economy, Viridor employs cutting-edge solutions such as Plastics-to-Liquids (PtL) technology in its Quantafuel facilities, specifically designed to process hard-to-recycle plastics. Beyond this, the company is actively engaged in ambitious decarbonization initiatives, including the integration of carbon capture technologies with its EfW processes. This strategic approach aims not only to fully decarbonize waste treatment activities but also to generate lasting carbon dioxide removals, aligning with their overarching environmental goals.

Viridor has set a clear trajectory towards sustainability, with a target to achieve carbon neutrality by 2040 and to become climate positive by 2045, ultimately removing more emissions from the atmosphere than they produce. This steadfast commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles has earned Viridor an EcoVadis Platinum medal, positioning them within the top 1% of global companies assessed for sustainability performance. Their operations support both planetary well-being and the creation of green jobs, underscoring their holistic impact.
