Waste and recycling businesses can have significant electricity and fuel requirements across sorting lines, balers, compactors, shredders, conveyors, extraction systems, workshops, lighting and other processing equipment. Energy demand can vary considerably depending on the type of facility, materials handled and operating hours.
Flame Energy can help recycling facilities, waste processors and multisite waste businesses manage commercial electricity and gas procurement, contracts, meters and consumption, with ongoing support throughout the contract period.
Waste and recycling businesses sit at the heart of the UK’s transition towards a more circular economy, but their own operations can still require significant energy. Improving visibility of consumption, procuring renewable electricity and considering onsite generation can therefore form part of a wider sustainability and energy strategy.
Commercial solar can be particularly worth exploring at facilities with suitable warehouse, transfer station or processing building roof space and meaningful daytime electricity demand. Flame Energy can help assess solar alongside existing grid electricity procurement and wider energy requirements.
Electricity and gas costs can have a direct impact on the operating cost of recycling and waste processing facilities, particularly where machinery operates for extended periods. We can review your energy requirements, compare suitable products from suppliers on our panel and help develop a procurement approach aligned with your consumption profile and preferred level of budget certainty.
For businesses operating multiple depots, transfer stations or processing facilities, we can also coordinate suppliers, meters and contract end dates across the portfolio and help plan renewals in advance.
For charities operating from several locations, we can also help coordinate different meters, suppliers and contract end dates, reducing the administration involved in managing utilities across the organisation.
Flame Energy provides ongoing support beyond procurement. We can help coordinate suppliers, contracts, meters and energy queries across a single facility or an entire waste and recycling estate, providing one central point of contact throughout the contract period.
Where suitable consumption data is available, we can also help improve visibility across sites and identify unusual changes or consumption patterns that may warrant further investigation.

We can review your electricity and gas contracts and consumption, compare suitable procurement options from suppliers on our panel and provide ongoing support throughout the contract period. For larger operators, we can also coordinate energy arrangements across multiple facilities.
Waste and recycling operations can use electricity across sorting equipment, balers, shredders, conveyors, extraction systems and other processing machinery. The exact energy profile will vary by facility, but electricity costs can form an important part of operating expenditure.
Yes. We can coordinate contracts, suppliers, meters and renewal dates across multiple depots, transfer stations and processing facilities, providing one central point of contact for your energy portfolio.
Potentially, yes. Facilities with suitable roof or land space and meaningful daytime electricity demand may be well suited to onsite solar. We can help assess whether commercial solar could complement your existing grid electricity supply.
Yes. Where suitable consumption data is available, we can help improve visibility across individual or multiple sites and identify unusual changes or consumption patterns that may warrant further investigation.
