Our Vision
To forge a better future by championing recycling and the circular economy
Our Vision
We’re more than just a commercial waste company, we’re disruptors in our field. Beyond collecting bins, we’re helping businesses become blueprints for sustainability. With a 99% collection success rate combined with winning over 20 industry awards over the last 2 years, there’s no one quite like Recorra. We deliver real recycling to organisations looking to reduce their carbon footprint and promote a circular economy.
Founded by Friends of the Earth in 1988 and now an independent commercial waste and recycling company, we’re born environmentalists. It all began with a mission to rescue paper from London’s offices and divert it from landfill. Now recycling over 38 materials and delivering real recycling to over 6000 commercial waste customers across London, the Southeast and beyond.
Our mission? Net zero.
We’re committed to reducing our own and our customers’ carbon emissions. We’re transitioning to electric trucks, deploying cargo bikes and much more. Read our Carbon Reduction Strategy and Sustainability Report for a deep dive into how we’re making net zero happen.
