What Mobius does

Mobius is a UK-headquartered total waste management specialist that exclusively serves food manufacturing enterprises across the United Kingdom. Operating as a subsidiary of SugaRich Limited from its Liverpool headquarters, the company manages the full waste lifecycle for clients including cardboard, plastics, general waste, hazardous waste, fats & oils, and food co-products through six specialised service modules. Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales: dedicated account managers conduct on-site waste audits, design bespoke collection schedules, and provide ongoing relationship management, with customer service staffed weekdays 8 AM-5 PM.

The technology layer is anchored by SugaTrak, a proprietary real-time waste-tracking software that monitors volumes, diversion rates, and collection schedules for transparency and reporting, complemented by automated dough and bread tipping systems purpose-built for bakery environments and a customer-facing reporting portal at recycledata.co.uk. Critically, Mobius is operationally integrated with sister company SugaRich, which operates six animal feed processing facilities across the UK, enabling Mobius to convert client food co-products into animal feed rather than disposal — a circular-economy capability that generates revenue for clients (documented cases of £5,000+ per month per site) and creates a closed-loop value chain further extended by partnership with AB Nutrition for downstream animal feed marketing.

Revenue is generated through managed service fees for waste collection, disposal, and recycling across each waste stream, supplemented by revenue share from recovered materials such as cooking oil (capable of producing ~370,000 gallons of biodiesel annually from current volumes) and animal feed processing. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, tailored to client waste generation patterns. The customer roster includes tier-1 UK food manufacturers such as McVities, Heinz, Weetabix, Hovis, Quaker Oats, Warburtons, Walkers, Lavazza, Jacobs, Arla, British Sugar, and Jordans Dorset Ryvita. The most recent disclosed strategic move is a March 2026 platform integration with the British Co-Investment Fund, signalling potential diversification beyond core waste management services.
