About Biffa: Changing the way people think about waste
Biffa is the UK’s leading sustainable waste management company. We have been at the forefront of the waste industry for over a century and are committed to changing the way people think about waste. We see waste as a valuable resource that can be reused, recycled, and recovered, not as something to be thrown away. We help our customers to waste less and do more, while reducing their environmental impact and creating value from waste.
What we do
We offer a range of services to help businesses, local authorities, and other organisations participate in the circular economy, which aims to keep materials in use for as long as possible and minimise waste.
- Reduce: a unique, industry solution for surplus – preventing food and household products from going to waste
- Collect: the largest, most efficient, lowest carbon collections service in the UK
- Recycle: the UK’s leading closed-loop packaging recycler
- Recover: a key investor in essential, secure, low-carbon energy from waste
Why we do it
We do it because we want a clean and sustainable future for communities around the UK. By enabling the UK circular economy and reducing waste we can help bring about environmental, social, and economic benefits for everyone. By leading the way in sustainable waste management, we can:
- Reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change
- Conserve natural resources and protect biodiversity
- Support innovation and create new markets and jobs
- Improve community and public health and well-being
