Sustainable waste and resource management
Waste Recycling Group Limited (WRG), a leading UK waste management and energy recovery company, is part of Fomento de Construcciones y Contratas (FCC) the international environmental services, infrastructure and energy group.
WRG is focused on delivering integrated waste management and energy recovery solutions to meet national, regional and local needs for local authorities and private commercial companies. The Company operates facilities for the reception, recycling and disposal of waste, including a network of waste transfer and recycling centres and a regional network of landfill sites, and also manages a wide range of recycling sites of behalf of local authorities for use by the general public.
FCC has operations in Europe, South America and the United States. Through its wholly owned subsidiaries, WRG and Focsa Services (UK) Ltd, FCC offers longstanding technical and management expertise, a strong operational infrastructure and an innovative and service oriented culture to help customers develop sustainable approaches to resource management.
The profile of the UK's waste management industry has never been higher, the pressures on local authorities and the economy to reduce waste and maximise re-use and recovery, never greater. Through innovation, service and expertise - cornerstones of the Company's approach - Waste Recycling Group is committed to working with our local authority partners and industry customers to respond to often complex and far-reaching waste management strategies, to react to increased regulation from the UK and Europe, and to meet demanding waste management targets.
Our service offering covers:
Reception and Recycling
WRG's integrated waste management capability features the recovery of important recyclable materials such as glass, paper and metals from the household waste stream to assist local authorities in meeting government targets.
We work with customers to find best value integrated solutions which put the delivery of recycling and landfill diversion targets at the heart of waste management options.
The Company also manages a network of household waste recycling sites on behalf of our local authority customers. The sites are the first port of call for members of the public in recycling and disposing of bulky items and household waste and are well used and cost effective elements of a local authority's waste management strategy.
Energy Recovery
Recognising and recovering the potential value that is locked up in the waste that we generate is important in achieving sustainability and driving waste higher up the hierarchy. Waste Recycling Group is operating and developing facilities to capture energy from waste by safe and effective thermal processes - generating steam for combined heat and power and electricity for local grid networks.
Landfill Disposal
The balance between landfill disposal and existing and new forms of waste treatment is changing fast, with the recognition that the diversion of valuable secondary resource is vital. WRG are helping our customers to make this change and more and more waste will be recycled, re-used or have value extracted from it through the recovery of energy. Through this period of change the Company is committed to providing a landfill disposal service for residual waste in a safe and responsible manner.
Waste Treatment
The Company has a dedicated business able to respond to the needs of its commercial customers for the treatment of hazardous and problematic wastes. This is a growing area of interest as a result of the current changes to the UK's approach to the management of hazardous wastes following the implementation of the EU Landfill Directive.
