A UK and Ireland resource recovery company that collects and processes waste, oils, wood, plastics and hazardous materials from sites in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Enva says it turns difficult materials into valuable, sustainable resources. It works across the UK and Ireland, and its services include commercial and trade waste, construction and demolition waste, specialist and hazardous waste, industrial services, water and wastewater services, and skip and container hire. It also sells what it recovers: recycled fuels, aggregates, plastic compounds, compost, reconditioned drums and large containers, and commodities. The company says each facility is fully licensed and that health and safety is its top priority.
Enva is a fairly new brand built on older businesses. Its website lists the names that came together, including William Tracey, Duston Oils, Hadfield Wood Recyclers, Wastecycle, Oakwood, Blue Sky Plastics, Toton Aggregates, Tracey Timber and Environcom in Britain, with Irish Waste, MacNabb Waste and others in Ireland. It presents the result under the headline "Decades of Experience, One Unified Brand". The company has a "vision and commitments" page, but we could not read it, so we have no formal mission to quote and have not invented one.
In the UK the company's sitemap lists many locations. In England these include Leicester, Nottingham (Colwick), Gateshead, Bourne in Lincolnshire, Bilsthorpe, Immingham, Grantham, Stourbridge, Northfleet, Northampton, Mansfield and Corby. In Scotland they include Paisley, Linwood near Glasgow, Irvine, Newbridge near Edinburgh, Glenrothes, Blantyre and Perth. In Northern Ireland they include Belfast, Lisburn, Downpatrick, Toomebridge, Drumaness, Killough and Carryduff. UK registered companies include Enva England Limited and Enva UK Limited. Enva reports more than 2,000 employees and 42 facilities across the UK and Ireland.
On culture, the company's careers menu lists a section called Life at Enva, plus learning and development, employee benefits and pages on diversity, equality and inclusion, plus community engagement. We did not read those pages, so we cannot say more about what they claim. The trade wiki profile describes the business as diversified, with a focus on electrical waste, hazardous waste, construction and demolition waste, and waste collection and recycling.
Enva employs people in a mix of roles: drivers for trade waste and skips, weighbridge operators, chemists and laboratory staff who test hazardous waste and oils, plant and site operators, engineers and mechanics, sales and customer service teams, and finance, compliance and health and safety staff. Because its sites are spread across towns and cities rather than a single head office, the work suits people who want to stay local while working with science, machinery and the environment.
