Who are we?
At Renewi we exclusively focus on extracting value from waste.
Our vision is to be the leading waste-to-product company in Europe’s most advanced circular economies – contributing to a sustainable society for all key stakeholders: customers, suppliers, local communities, employees, regulators, Governments, investors and lenders.
What do we mean by waste-to-product? At Renewi, we exclusively focus on extracting value from waste rather than on its disposal through mass burn incineration or landfill. Of the 14 million tonnes of waste we handle a year, 89% is either recycled or used for energy recovery.
