Our Core Businesses
Viridor
Overview
Viridor is focused on transforming waste into a resource, having developed from being a traditional waste management company to a leading UK recycling, renewable energy and resource management business.
| Operating facilities | 327 |
| Landfill gas power plants | 34 |
| Tonnes of material handled in 2011/12 | 8.1 million |
| Materials recycling facilities (MRFs) | 25 |
| Energy from waste (EfW) plants | 3 |
Continuing developments in the UK's waste management and renewable energy policies, driven by climate change and environmental awareness, create major opportunities for Viridor.
Recycling operations are key to our profits in the short-term with our pipeline of Private Public Partnership (PPP) and energy from waste (EfW) projects underpinning Viridor's long-term profit momentum.
Our strategy is to grow and add value by:
- growing recycling capacity and services
- growing energy from waste capacity and services
- selectively gaining more PPP contracts
- capitalising on our long-term strong position in the landfill market
