Biffa agrees acquisition of Enva recycling businesses

The transaction includes four sites in Scotland, Linwod, Newbridge, Glenrothes and Irvine, and Colwick, Wesley Street, Sunningdale and Whetstone in England, together with the associated collection and transport activities.

Together they handle approximately 800,000 tonnes of material annually, employ more than 600 people and operate over 150 vehicles.

Biffa said the acquisition further develops its position in the construction and demolition sector, expanding its collection and processing network across England and Scotland and adding valuable operational capacity.

Meanwhile Enva stated the completion will conclude the group’s strategic refocus, following the sale of its wood business to Seras Energy in September 2026.

Biffa CEO Michael Topham commented, “This acquisition is a strong strategic fit for Biffa and our long-term ambitions. It further expands our existing capability to recover and recycle materials the construction and demolition sector generates, as well as enhancing our commercial collections business.”

The purchase price has not been disclosed, and completion is expected in December. The companies will continue operating under the Enva brand until then.

One of the UK’s largest waste management and recycling companies, Biffa provides waste collection, treatment, recycling and disposal services to businesses, local authorities and households across the country.
