Our recycling solutions for scrap metal and end-of-life vehicles use industry-leading technology to achieve best in class metal recycling rates. We guarantee highly competitive prices and unique social value from your contracts.
Our unique social programmes are game-changing in offender rehabilitation, and ending food poverty and homelessness. We create social value from our work that is equal to or greater than 10% of our annual sales and then credit this to your contracts.
Our services allow you to manage all your waste streams through one provider to achieve 100% recycling rates. We use unique reporting software to ensure full transparency and allow you to meet all compliance and generate rebates from waste streams.
Our clients enjoy more than just environmental and financial benefits from our scrap metal recycling and waste management services. We help our partners to comply with Social Value Act 2012 requirements or simply support their good business ethics, by delivering reportable social value, that is both qualitative and quantitative.
Recycling Lives can collect, process and recycle all of your waste streams. Including scrap metal, scrap cars, general waste, WEEE, plastics, paper and cardboard. We also offer waste management consultancy, compliance services, vehicle fleet disposal and even specialised recruitment services.
We define our Social Value as the audited financial savings created for society and for taxpayers. Whether for local or national government, or for community groups or individuals. Our work creates measurable social value through three primary social activities:
We’re increasing recycle rates, reducing CO2 emissions and diverting waste from landfill by continually investing in machinery and infrastructure to refine our recycling processes. We can manage all your waste streams, separating materials ready for reuse or remanufacture, generating rebates for commodities and meeting your ambitious environmental targets.
We work across all sectors - recycling from construction sites, managing manufacturing and industry waste, servicing public sectors contracts, and many more. Our teams have vast experience across these sectors, to manage all waste types and meet sector-specific needs.
