Waste Management & Recycling Solutions
We are one of the leading providers of recycling and waste management services to UK businesses, offering our customers the ability to completely outsource their recycling and waste management activities.
We work with our customers to minimise landfill and increase recycling, enabling them to maximise the value of their waste materials and avoid unnecessary environmental harm. We are accredited by the Environment Agency to generate PRNs from the waste that we recycle, which helps our customers to offset their compliance costs.
Valpak is able to handle a number of materials on behalf of our customers, allowing mixed collections to take place at their site at a frequency to suit them. With an extensive network of stocking locations, including a sorting facility based in Preston, our service is nationwide.
We work with businesses large and small across the country. Some of our current customers include SuperGroup, Comet, Wilkinson’s, Matalan, and Arla Dairies.

Valpak is committed to ensuring that all of our materials are handled in a responsible manner. We trade with a large number of end markets in the UK, Europe and the Far East to ensure continuity of service. We also have our own Environment Agency accredited exporter licence and an office in Tianjin in Northern China. Having a presence in China allows us to have full control of the export process and enables us to produce Packaging Waste Export Recovery Notes (PERNs).
Our comprehensive policies and audit processes ensure that our partners operate to acceptable environmental and social standards. We ensure that all parties involved have the appropriate licences required to operate. In return, we believe that it is our responsibility to supply material that is of a quality suitable for recycling and will not cause any harm to individuals or the environment.
