Waste Watch Competitors

Founded in London in 1912, Biffa is a leading UK nationwide integrated waste management business providing collection, treatment, recycling and technologically-driven energy generation services. Through the expertise of our people and investment in technology we promote and deliver sustainable waste management solutions. We provide an essential service to satisfy the business needs of our commercial, industrial and public sector customers throughout the UK, and help them to meet their legal obligations and corporate responsibility commitments. We employ 10,000 people and collect waste from thousands of businesses and millions of households across the UK each day. Our surplus food redistribution partnership with Company Shop Group, and our environmental work with BiffaAward and Waste Aid, also have wider benefits for the UK and beyond. Since 2002 we’ve reduced our carbon emissions by 70 per cent and aim to be net zero by 2050.

We preserve material resources and recover as much value as possible from our customers’ waste and water processes. As a company committed to the triple bottom line, we measure the value we generate beyond financial profit, balancing the interests of people and planet. As we do so, we work to protect the environment, serve our customers and support local communities. We manage resources responsibly, helping our customers cut their carbon footprint, while building a more resource-efficient, circular economy.

Viridor is one of the UK’s leading resource and waste management companies. Our ambition is to build a world where nothing goes to waste. In May 2021, we committed to becoming the UK’s first climate positive waste management company by 2045 – removing more emissions from the atmosphere than we create.
