Veolia in the UK is one of the major waste and recycling companies, part of a worldwide group with over 163,000 employees focused on water, waste and energy management, and operates many waste management facilities on a nationwide basis, focused on Local Authority and Business Waste^[1] .

History

Veolia, formerly Onyx Environmental, grew through the early to mid 1990's by winning 10 major regional PPP/PFI contracts, the first being with Birmingham City Council, followed by the Hampshire County Council contracts, and through the acquisition in 1997 of Leigh Interests (including Leigh Environmental)^[2]. In 2005 they acquired the Shank's (now Renewi) hazardous waste business and in 2006 they acquired Cleanaway UK for £589m ^[3].

More recent acquisitions in 2016, both out of administration, included both Boomeco (a Wood Waste and Refuse Derived Fuel processor and producer in Avonmouth)^[4], and Closed Loop Recycling Ltd (a Plastic bottles recycling company in Dagenham^[5]).

In August 2020 Veolia launched a process to acquire/merge with Suez via the acquisition of the shares owned by Energie in Suez (representing 32% of the company for 3.4bn Euros)^[6].

In 2017/18 the relative position of the top 5 waste companies^[7], by turnover, was as follows:
