Who we are
Every day, we turn thousands of tonnes of non-recyclable waste into useful resources.
We like to call it a ‘bin bag to light bulb’ service.
Our fleet of facilities in the UK and Ireland fulfil an essential public sanitation function by treating the ‘black bag’ waste that remains after waste reduction, reuse and recycling.
Instead of letting this non-recyclable waste go to waste, we process it in a way that generates baseload electricity for the national grid, produces heat than be harnessed for district heating networks, and recovers the remaining resources, including ash and metals, for reprocessing and recycling.
And at Encyclis, we’re proud of our important role in society. We work to the highest standards across our business to ensure we are operating efficiently, safely and in full compliance with regulations.
We have an ambitious sustainability strategy. We are decarbonising energy-from-waste to support net-zero; continuously improving resource recovery and preparing to be a power source for district heat networks.
