Veolia UK

We’re so excited to share that our work with Dulux Decorator Centre is set to reach a new milestone – we’re on track to recycle a total of one and a half million empty paint cans by the end of the year! Since 2022, Veolia has worked alongside over 140 Dulux Decorator Centres across the UK to recycle empty paint cans. By recycling these cans, we’re reducing waste to landfill and reintroducing precious plastic and metal materials back to the market, all while saving carbon emissions in the process. Thanks to Dulux’s commitment to its sustainability goals and Veolia’s innovative solutions, we’re taking a step forward in greening the decorating industry. You can find out more about how we’re driving ecological transformation with this initiative by listening back to our ‘In conversation with Dulux Decorator Centre’ podcast episode: https://ow.ly/XYZ150Tau74 #RegeneratingResources #EcologicalTransformation

Along with Dennis Eagle UK and Autotech Training, we're proud to have won in the partnership category at the Motor Industry Awards 🎉 This award recognises our shared commitment to powering vehicles into the future, through electric and hybrid vehicle system repair and replacement. In order to make sure our in-house capability is fit for the future of our fleet, a strategic partnership was formed to create an industry-first training programme. This means we have enhanced our training provision for workshop technicians, enabling us to attract, develop and retain a highly skilled workforce to repair and maintain our fleet of electric vehicles. We're really pleased to see this collaborative venture recognised by the Motor Industry Awards, which is the benchmark for excellence amongst UK fleet operators. #MTAwards2024

Innovation is one of our Veolia Values for a reason - it helps make sure we are constantly pushing forward and finding better ways of doing things. Chris, one of our Supervisors in the Municipal team, showed how an innovative approach can make a real difference in the lives of the communities we serve. An underpass in Chris' area of Solihull was a known graffiti hotspot, with weekly reports of offensive graffiti on the walls. Rather than continuing to paint over this and enabling the issue to persist, Chris instead worked with our partner Solihull Council, as well as the Royal British Legion and a local school, to design a mural to fill the walls of the underpass. This was really well-received in the area and has helped to stop the ongoing graffiti issue, making the area more pleasant for residents. It's innovative thinking like this that helps us go above and beyond for our partners, customers and communities - well done Chris 👏 Keep an eye on our page to see more examples of our people living the Veolia Values! #EverydayGreatness #Values #OurPeople #EcologicalTransformation

The resources and waste industry is more often associated with bins than butterflies, but they have more in common than you might think 🦋 Our Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) in Alton down in Hampshire not only sorts 60,000 tonnes of recyclable materials every year, but it also recycles its own wastewater for reuse - supporting an area of wildflowers to boost the site's biodiversity. Come with us on a tour outside the MRF to see how we’re delivering ecological transformation, one recycled bottle and new wildflower at a time, and find out more at https://ow.ly/XJso50TcXe4. #EcologicalTransformation #Biodiversity #WasteWater #Recycling

The unsafe disposal of electrical items causes a preventable fire every day across our vehicles and facilities, showing the serious impact of improper waste disposal. Items such as batteries and vapes can be dangerous when disposed of in general waste, as they are extremely flammable when crushed. This has led to an average of one preventable fire every day across our network, endangering our people and causing damage to vital recycling infrastructure.

August has been another busy month for our teams, as they've found opportunities to contribute to their local communities beyond the day-to-day operations. 🚮 In London, some of our commercial colleagues carried out a litter-pick along the river Thames, cleaning up the area and helping to protect biodiversity. ☀️ Over in Northampton, we worked with local partners to put on a fun day for the community, which included activities to help residents learn more about recycling. There were over 30 stallholders and a record number of resident participants throughout the day. 🧸 It was time for a teddy bears picnic in Merseyside, as children had the opportunity to adopt soft toys destined for disposal at our Gillmoss facility, as well as learning how to have picnics sustainably. #SocialValue #Community #Litterpick #Recycling
