Recycling

Circular Thinking

Our treatment infrastructure is designed and built to use your waste to move Northern Ireland towards a circular economy.

At RiverRidge, sustainability drives everything we do. Our processes are designed to prioritise the extraction of recyclable materials, ensuring the lowest possible carbon footprint when managing your waste streams. From single-stream materials to heavily mixed waste, our advanced treatment lines use cutting-edge mechanical and optical technology to recover valuable resources like metals, plastics, fibres, and aggregates. These materials are carefully cleaned, separated, and reintroduced into productive use, closing the loop on waste. As one of Northern Ireland’s only operators offering a fully in-house, auditable, and traceable waste treatment service, we provide customers with a reliable and responsible solution for their waste management needs.
