UK waste management group to create jobs with £13m investment in recycling facility

A UK waste management business has today announced that it is creating 50 jobs as it invests £13m in a new recycling facility.

Biffa, which provides sustainable waste management across the UK, has announced plans to further expand its post-consumer HDPE recycling capacity with a £13m investment in its new Washington facility.

This investment will increase the company’s recycling capacity by 50 per cent, and will add 50 jobs to the site, which is already under development.

The company also reported that its third quarter revenues reached 97 per cent of the levels achieved at the same time last year.

Biffa commented: “The group is increasingly well placed with leadership positions across waste reduction, recycling, collections and energy recovery.

“Biffa’s performance over the last year demonstrates the resilience of its model as a provider of essential services, whilst the delivery of its strategic investment programme, including the earnings enhancing acquisition of CSG, enhances Biffa’s unique position at the heart of the circular economy.

“The group is excited by the growth opportunities it sees, and will continue to invest to build a resilient, more sustainable business, well-positioned for a strong post pandemic future.”
