- Renewi plc operates as a leading waste-to-product company focused on recycling and resource recovery in Europe's advanced circular economies, primarily processing waste into high-quality secondary materials such as metals, paper, plastics, glass, wood, building materials including sand, gravel and cement replacements, compost, biogas, bio-LNG and water; its core services encompass commercial waste collection and processing of mixed and monostreams, hazardous waste treatment including soil and water purification for petrochemical and industrial clients, municipal residual waste management, and specialist recycling of electronic waste, cooling appliances and construction debris. The company serves businesses, local authorities, governmental organizations and industrial sectors through its Commercial Waste and Hazardous Waste divisions, operating over 150 sites across the Netherlands, Belgium, France and Portugal with approximately 6,000 employees. Founded in 1880 and headquartered at The Stanley Building, 7 Pancras Square, London N1C4AG, United Kingdom, Renewi plc was formerly known as Shanks Group plc until its rebranding in February 2017. In recent developments, a consortium comprising Macquarie Asset Management via its European Infrastructure Fund 7 and British Columbia Investment Management Corporation completed the acquisition of Renewi plc on June 6, 2025, for approximately 707 million pounds, delisting the company from public markets and enabling accelerated execution of the One Renewi strategy to enhance logistics, processing capabilities and recycling yields. Earlier in October 2024, Renewi divested its UK municipal operations to Biffa for 125 million pounds, streamlining focus on core continental recycling activities and boosting annual cashflow by 15-20 million euros; ongoing initiatives include extended partnerships such as with Stichting OPEN for annual recycling of 42,500 tonnes of household appliances and collaborations with Holcim on 100% recycled sand concrete products.
