- Business
- Renewi plc, a leading waste-to-product company formed in 2017 through the merger of Shanks Group plc and Van Gansewinkel Groep BV, collects, sorts, and processes waste into high-quality circular materials including recyclates such as paper, metals, plastics, glass, woodchips, compost, aggregates, sand, gravel, cement replacements, biogas, bio-LNG, and purified water; it operates through Commercial Waste, Mineralz & Water, and Specialities segments serving businesses, local authorities, and industries with waste collection, treatment, recycling, hazardous waste management, and compliance services across approximately 150 sites in the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Portugal, the United Kingdom, and internationally, with headquarters in Milton Keynes, United Kingdom. The company emphasizes circular economy solutions, diverting over 10 million tonnes of waste annually from incineration or landfill to achieve a recycling rate of around 66%, aligning with UN Sustainable Development Goals through reduced CO2 emissions and innovative processing technologies. In June 2025, Macquarie Asset Management and BCI completed a cash acquisition of Renewi, delisting it from the London Stock Exchange and Euronext Amsterdam to support growth ambitions, the One Renewi transformation strategy for enhanced logistics and processing, and further recycling yield improvements; recent initiatives include extending collaboration with Stichting OPEN for 42,500 tonnes of annual e-waste recycling, partnering with Holcim on 100% recycled sand concrete columns, and Maltha Portugal earning the PME Excelência Award.
