Conrad Energy has appointed Enva as its sole waste and resource recovery provider across the company’s expanding network of sites. The contract will see Enva extend its coverage for the first time to the UK energy sector.
Across Conrad Energy's 50+ sites around the UK, Enva will provide hazardous and non-hazardous waste management services. This will involve the collection and treatment of both oil in bulk and drummed hazardous waste using a single vehicle solution, lowering fuel consumption and emissions, as well as reducing disruption to operations.
The contract will see a greater percentage of waste oil collected from Conrad Energy’s sites being redirected for re-refining and usage in the manufacture of recovered oil products.
Enva’s National Sales Director, Trevor Lawlor, said: “We look forward to supporting Conrad Energy in their continued expansion. Our ability to manage multiple waste streams as part of a single collection enables our customers to realise the commercial and environmental benefits of recycling their waste while also improving the efficiency of their waste collection services.”
Duane Longthorn, Head of Procurement of Conrad Energy, added: “Enva’s experience in delivering comprehensive solutions across multiple sites, together with their ability to service a number of remote locations, made them the perfect partner for both our current operational sites and support the ambitious growth strategy.
“Both companies share a commitment to supporting the transition to clean energy and low carbon energy solutions which are also highly cost-effective for consumers.”

How will the government and DMOs address the challenges of including glass in DRS while ensuring a level playing field across the UK?
There's no easy solution to include glass in the DRS while maintaining a level playing field. Potential approaches include a phased introduction of glass, potentially with higher deposits to reflect its logistical challenges. The government and DMOs could incentivise innovation in glass packaging design and subsidise dedicated return points for glass-handling. Exemptions for smaller businesses unable to handle glass might also be necessary. Any successful solution will likely blend several approaches. It must address the differing priorities of devolved administrations, balance environmental benefits with logistical and cost implications, and be supported by robust consumer education campaigns emphasizing the importance of glass recycling.
