What Enviroquip does

Enviroquip designs, manufactures, and supplies waste-handling equipment for UK industrial, commercial, and public-sector customers, operating as a trading name of Forward Waste Management Limited from a 19,000 sq ft engineering and servicing facility in South Wales with headquarters in Cardiff. The company's core portfolio spans vertical balers (25–60 tonne press force), static and portable compactors, static rotary screw compactors, solar-powered compactors, wheelie bins, forklift tipping skips, recycling bins, hazardous waste containers, can and drum crushers, waste shredders, and roll packers. Underlying technology centres on hydraulic and rotary screw compaction, steel fabrication, and precision engineering, with an emerging telemetry add-on providing remote monitoring of equipment status, hydraulic fluid levels, and fault diagnostics.

Enviroquip's commercial offering extends beyond hardware into a six-step bespoke design and manufacturing service, equipment servicing with 21- and 28-point inspections, on-site mobile engineering with a stated 24-hour breakdown response, workshop repair and refurbishment, and equipment rental alongside outright sale. The business serves at least eleven vertical segments — aerospace, automotive, pharmaceuticals, hazardous and chemical waste, food and drink manufacturing, facilities management, hospitality, offices, engineering, councils and local authorities, and general manufacturing — with named enterprise customers including Nuaire, Hydro Aluminium Extrusions, PCI Pharm Services, Zorba Delicacies, and Marelli Automotive.

Revenue is generated through hardware sales (new and refurbished), equipment rental, bespoke design and manufacturing services, recurring servicing and maintenance contracts, and workshop engineering services, with flexible finance options supporting purchase decisions and quote-based pricing throughout. The company sells direct via a nationwide UK field sales and service network and holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications via SGS, alongside SafeContractor, CHAS, CIWM membership, and Made in Britain designation.

Products and services

• Vertical Balers Hydraulic waste balers that compact cardboard, plastic film, and other recyclable materials into dense bales, available in single and multi-chamber configurations with press forces from 25 to 60 tonnes. Designed for industrial sites and recycling facilities that need to reduce waste volume and produce bales for onward recycling.
• Static Compactors Stationary hydraulic waste compactors for general dry waste and recyclables, delivering 24.8-tonne compaction force with configurable charge box volumes and bin-lift options. Built for continuous operation at customer sites including manufacturing facilities, civic amenity sites, and commercial premises.
• Portable Compactors Self-contained portable waste compaction systems with leak-resistant seals for general and food waste, available in 15-yard and 32-yard configurations and using cross-cylinder compaction technology. Designed to be relocated between sites or seasonal locations while delivering sealed containment.
• Static Rotary Screw Compactors Rotary screw compaction systems for paper, cardboard, food, wood, pallets, foils, and PET bottles, achieving roughly twice the transport weight and 50% lower CO2 emissions versus hydraulic presses. Offered in standard, cardboard, wood, XL, XXL, and dewatering configurations for higher-density loads and reduced collections.
• Solar Compactors Solar-powered waste compaction systems that can be sited virtually anywhere, with flexible charging for evening or poor-weather operation and built-in telemetry delivering equipment status updates by text and email. Suited to off-grid or sustainability-focused sites that want to reduce on-site collection traffic and energy use.
• Wheelie Bins Two-wheel and four-wheel waste bins from 120 to 1100 litre capacity, manufactured from HDPE with galvanised steel axles and suitable for a range of waste streams. Used by commercial sites, offices, hospitality venues, and manufacturing facilities for segregated waste collection.
• Forklift Tipping Skips & Stillages Waste collection containers for forklift handling, available in capacities from 0.25 to 2 cubic metres with automatic self-locking return mechanisms. Used in manufacturing and logistics settings for collecting, moving, and tipping bulky production waste.
• Recycling Bins Indoor recycling bins for waste segregation, including Hi-Style wall-mounted bins, paper recycling boxes, confidential bins, and plastic cup recycling bins. Targeted at office, hospitality, and facilities-management customers running mixed dry-recycling streams.
• Can & Drum Crushers Industrial crushers that compact tin drums, tanks, and cans up to 30-litre capacity, reducing disposal costs and improving site safety. Designed for industrial and hazardous-waste producers needing to flatten steel containers before recycling or disposal.
• Waste Shredders & Granulators Durable industrial shredders and granulators that transform wood, plastic, organic waste, metals, WEEE items, and tyres into alternative fuel or energy feedstock. Used by manufacturers, waste processors, and WEEE operators seeking volume reduction and energy recovery.
• Roll Packers Heavy-duty compactors for bulky waste such as large wooden or cardboard boxes and pallets, reducing both the volume of waste and the cost of collections. Used in distribution, retail back-of-house, and manufacturing facilities handling oversized packaging waste.
• Hazardous Waste Containers Specialised UN-approved and ADR-compliant containers for hazardous and chemical waste, including cut-off IBCs, aerosol containers, battery containers, and clinical waste bins. Served to industrial, pharmaceutical, and chemical-waste producers needing compliant containment for regulated streams.
• Bespoke Design & Manufacturing Service Custom equipment design and manufacturing service following a six-step process: site audit, design development with detailed proposal and equipment drawings, precision manufacturing, robust testing, transport, and installation with operator training. Used by customers with unique waste problems that standard products cannot resolve.
• Equipment Servicing & Maintenance Comprehensive service contracts covering Enviroquip and third-party equipment, including 21-point and 28-point inspections, guaranteed 24-hour site attendance, breakdown repair, PUWER and LOLER compliance verification, and scheduled preventive maintenance. Sold as ongoing service contracts to industrial and public-sector customers.
• On-Site Services Mobile engineering services delivered at customer premises, including 24-hour breakdown response, on-site welding and fabrication, site safety auditing, equipment installation, decommissioning, and operator health-checks. Provided to industrial, commercial, and public-sector customers nationwide.
• Workshop Services Engineering workshop services run from Enviroquip's 19,000 sq ft South Wales facility, covering bespoke fabrication, repair and refurbishment, conveyor system repair, shot blasting, sandblasting, spraying, hydraulic system repairs, and ram re-sealing. Available to customers requiring off-site rebuild or refurbishment work.
