Enva Group

Enva is a waste management, recycling and resource recovery company operating 34 facilities across the UK and Ireland, serving over 20,000 industrial, energy, automotive and other customers. The company focuses on waste streams with complex technical and regulatory characteristics that require specialized expertise and licenses. Their operations include waste collection, processing, and resource recovery, with a strong emphasis on minimizing adverse environmental impacts and developing low-CO2 waste-derived products. Over 96% of all waste processed by Enva is diverted from landfill, and in 2022 the company helped avoid an estimated 336,000 tonnes of CO2 through the production and sale of recovered and waste-derived materials. The company's services span across various waste types including general waste, recyclable waste, hazardous waste, and organic waste. In June 2024, Enva expanded its capabilities in electronic waste recycling through the acquisition of WEEE Solutions, a Scotland-based company specializing in collecting and recovering materials from various types of electronic equipment. The company was acquired by I Squared Capital in 2023 through its ISQ Global Infrastructure Fund III.

Enva has recently entered the electric vehicle battery recycling sector through a strategic partnership with Altilium. This collaboration leverages Enva's nationwide collection infrastructure and relationships with car dealerships to support the recycling of EV batteries. The company has also partnered with Envetec to improve the circularity of biohazardous waste, offering collection and recycling services for treated biohazardous materials.
