Sortera Ltd. has launched in the United Kingdom following its acquisition of two London-based companies last year, GBN Services and O’Donovan’s Waste Management. Through the acquisition, Sortera assumes responsibility for six existing U.K. sites in Rochford, Harlow, Edmonton, Uxbridge, Tottenham and Wembley. 

Sortera says its entry into the U.K. market follows its success in providing quality waste management solutions in the Nordic region. With a focus on environmental sustainability and technological advancement, Sortera says it aims to spearhead transformative changes within the U.K. construction, recycling and waste management sectors.  

"We are thrilled to introduce Sortera's innovative approach to waste management to the U.K. market,” says Mark McCleery, U.K. managing director of Sortera. “By integrating the expertise of GBN Services and O'Donovan Waste Management and implementing the values that has made Sortera so successful in the Nordics, we’re excited to bring the kind of innovative digital solutions, international sustainability insights and operational excellence that address the evolving needs of the construction, recycling and waste management industries.” 

Sortera's services include waste collection, recycling and resource recovery, with an emphasis on maximizing efficiency and minimizing environmental impact. According to the company, it’s looking to incorporate other services, including a complete service for the processing of water encompassing testing, analysis and treatment with specialized equipment. Through advanced technologies and strategic partnerships, Sortera says it aims to streamline operations, reduce waste generation and promote circular economy principles across the U.K. 

The company says the acquisition of GBN Services and O'Donovan Waste Management represents a significant milestone in Sortera's expansion strategy, further solidifying its position as a global leader in sustainable waste management solutions. According to Sortera, it looks forward to forging enduring partnerships and driving positive change within the U.K. construction, recycling and waste management sectors.
