Biffa is a UK-based waste management and recycling company serving commercial, industrial, and municipal customers. The business operates nationwide collection, sorting, treatment, and resource recovery infrastructure, supporting landfill diversion, materials recovery, and energy generation from waste. It is one of the UK’s largest operators in its sector, focusing on turning waste into secondary raw materials to support circular economy goals.
Through Biffa Polymers, the company recycles post-consumer plastics into high-quality, food-grade recycled polymers used primarily in packaging. Its capabilities include closed-loop recycling of high-density polyethylene (rHDPE) from milk bottles and recycled PET (rPET) for beverage and food applications, as well as processing mixed rigid plastics such as tubs and trays. These operations supply recycled pellets and flakes to packaging and consumer goods manufacturers, helping customers increase recycled content and reduce reliance on virgin polymers within the UK supply chain.
