Once there was 'waste'. Now society recognises that there are valuable resources that we must all challenge ourselves to recover.
By transforming domestic and commercial waste and recyclables into high-quality raw materials and energy, we are playing a key part in the UK’s transition towards a circular economy.
Our Journey
2020
Viridor is acquired by KKR an American global investment company.
Partially through the KKR Global Impact Fund, cementing Viridor’s commitment to sustainable infrastructure growth.
2021
We announced our sector leading five-step action plan to decarbonisation.
To achieve carbon neutral emissions by 2040, and the ambition to be the first climate positive emissions waste and recycling company in the UK by 2045.

We launched our ESG strategy.
Since becoming a standalone company in 2020, we needed a purpose that would encompass what we were driving to achieve. That purpose is building a world where nothing goes to waste.

In 2024, we acquired Norway-based chemical recycling business Quantafuel, to focus on the plastics-to-liquid process.
