The waste management and resource recovery business has acquired independent waste electrical and electronic equipment recycler, WEEE Solutions.
Based in Linwood, Scotland, WEEE Solutions collects and recovers valuable materials from a range of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) including fridges, flat panel displays, batteries, fluorescent tubes, large domestic appliances, IT equipment and small domestic appliances. Recycling over 95 per cent of the waste managed, WEEE Solutions was recognised at the Zero Waste Awards in 2022 as a business committed to increasing the amount of waste they reuse and recycle.
Commenting on the acquisition, Michelle Scott, Enva’s Operations Director in Scotland said: “The purchase of WEEE Solutions complements our recent acquisitions in this space, further consolidating our market leading position in the UK and Ireland. We have a long-standing relationship with WEEE Solutions, and this purchase will enable Enva to invest directly to grow its already established footprint in Scotland. We look forward to working with the team going forward to maximise the recovery of valuable resources from electronic waste.”
Graeme Douglas, Director of WEEE Solutions, commented: ‘’Enva are the perfect fit for our business and becoming part of a larger group will enable our already successful operations to grow and flourish. The additional expertise and extended service portfolio Enva brings will also add value to what we can offer our customer base.’’
This is the latest in a number of acquisitions recently undertaken by Enva. In November last year Enva announced it had acquired Environcom, one of the UK’s largest independent waste electrical & electronic equipment recycling companies. And in August 2023, Enva signed terms with Shore Recycling to acquire the company’s electrical waste recycling plant in Perth, Scotland.
