The two key drivers in waste and resources are the need to create a circular economy and the critical push to achieve net zero in the waste and resources sector.

At Viridor we are deploying mechanisms to realise a decarbonised circular economy. By investing in new technologies, such as Plastics-to-Liquids (PtL), we are unlocking solutions to the most complex parts of creating a circular economy and diverting fossil materials away from general waste.

The result is circularity and decarbonisation combined.

By applying carbon capture to Energy from Waste (EfW), we will fully decarbonise the safe treatment of waste that cannot be recycled. As residual waste includes both fossil and non-fossil material, we will also generate enduring carbon dioxide removals. We will create a route beyond net zero to become a climate positive business.

Driving towards a decarbonised circular economy is our platform for growth. Our sector leading assets are the ideal basis on which we will deliver for our planet, our people and our shareholders.

Our vision and values

We want to be the UK's leading innovator of resource recovery and recycling, transforming waste for a climate positive future
