Suez R & R UK

SUEZ recycling and recovery UK employs over 6,000 people and handles approximately 10 million tonnes of waste materials every year – a significant proportion of the UK’s total waste. We are active across the waste hierarchy from reuse and repair, through to recycling, energy-from-waste and landfill.

From the outset, we have innovated to maximise the value we recover from our customers’ waste along with reducing the carbon content of the waste through increased reuse and recycling, and by investing in the development of technology to capture the carbon dioxide from energy-from-waste facilities.

We have had operations in the North East for more than 25 years, including the operation of two energy-from-waste plants in Wilton and Billingham, and processing contracts with local authorities from Northumberland, Durham, Newcastle, North Tyneside, South Tyne and Wear, and Tees Valley. Employing around 300 people across these contracts, we are proud of the work that we do to support our customers in the transition towards a circular economy, as well as the support that we offer to the communities in which we operate across the whole of the UK.
