About Viridor
Viridor operates energy-from-waste (EfW) facilities across the UK that generate energy from residual waste, processing over 3.5 million tonnes of non-recycled waste a year. Through its Quantafuel business it runs Plastics-to-Liquids (PtL) chemical recycling, with a commercial production facility in Skive, Denmark, that converts hard-to-recycle plastics into oils for new plastic production.
Customers include local authorities; Viridor partners with North-East Councils on the Tees Valley Energy Recovery Facility, which reached financial close in April 2026. The company states an aim to apply carbon capture to its EfW facilities and to become carbon neutral by 2040 and climate positive by 2045.
Viridor was founded in 1990 and is headquartered in Ardley, United Kingdom. Its careers page lists apprenticeship and graduate programmes, and a separate Quantafuel careers page. In 2026, news items reported plans to close the company's European chemical recycling operations.
