What CleanR Grupa does

CleanR Grupa is a Latvian environmental services conglomerate (AS, 100% Latvian capital) providing full-cycle waste management, recycling, urban maintenance, commercial cleaning, and producer responsibility services across Latvia. Originating from the 1944 Riga City Cleaning Trust, the group operates through specialized wholly-owned subsidiaries: CleanR (household waste collection), CleanR Verso (industrial and construction waste, operating the Nomales sorting center), CleanR Industry (plastic granule production at a Ķekava facility and waste-to-fuel NAIK production), Lautus (medical and hazardous waste), Zaļā josta (extended producer responsibility system), Vizii (commercial cleaning with a 120+ cleaning robot fleet), Vizii Urban (urban maintenance across multiple Latvian municipalities), Vizii Domus (residential building management), and Ķilupe (regional waste management in Ogre and Aizkraukle districts). The group operates modern automated sorting and recycling infrastructure including Latvia's first fully automated sorted waste collection site (opened March 2025), 100 underground container sites with 395 containers in Riga and Jūrmala, a fleet of more than 200 vehicles (42% EV in light fleet as of 2023), and a self-service customer platform (MANAI VIDEI).

Revenue is generated through a mix of subscription/multi-year municipal contracts won via public procurement, transactional B2B industrial and healthcare waste services, EPR compliance fees, and material sales of recycled plastic granules and waste-derived fuel. Primary customers are Latvian municipalities and local authorities (50,000+ customers served, 500,000+ residents covered daily), supplemented by healthcare facilities, industrial/construction firms, producers, and commercial property owners. Distribution is dominated by competitive public tenders across all Latvian regions, with B2B direct sales and a digital self-service channel for SMB/residential customers.

In 2025, the group reported consolidated revenue of EUR 144.5 million (+19% YoY) and EBITDA of EUR 32.2 million (22% margin), funded in part through a EUR 15 million public bond issuance on Nasdaq Riga (November 2025) within a EUR 50 million programme, alongside continued organic capex of EUR 13.2 million and inorganic expansion via the completed acquisition of SIA Ķilupe (March 2026). Corporate governance is recognized with a 91/100 Nasdaq Riga/Prudentia TOP101 score and ESG Transparency Awards excellence-level status.

Regional players

• Ragn-Sells: Nordic and Baltic waste management group with operations across Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. Comparable business model (waste collection, recycling, hazardous waste) but operates in multiple Baltic/Nordic geographies rather than being concentrated in Latvia alone.
• Eesti Keskkonnateenused: Estonian waste management and environmental services company providing collection, recycling, and treatment. Closely comparable in service mix and Baltic regional profile, but operates primarily in Estonia rather than Latvia.
• Atliekų tvarkymo centras (ATC): Lithuanian state-affiliated waste management company providing municipal collection, sorting, and disposal services in Vilnius and other Lithuanian regions. Comparable in service portfolio and Baltic geographic positioning, though primarily Lithuania-focused.

Broad incumbents

• Renewi plc: Western European waste-to-product company operating across the Netherlands, Belgium, and UK. Comparable in focus on recycling and secondary material recovery with similar business model of turning waste into sellable commodities.
• Veolia Environnement: Global environmental services leader operating across waste management, water, and energy services in Central and Eastern Europe. Overlapping capabilities but at vastly greater scale and geographic breadth; serves as a benchmark for industry valuation and competitive threat.
• FCC Environment CEE: Circular economy and waste management operator with significant Central and Eastern European footprint (Austria, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania). Comparable vertically integrated service model including municipal collection, sorting, and material recovery.
• Remondis: Germany-based family-owned environmental services group with broad European footprint in waste collection, recycling, and water services. Comparable full-service portfolio but much larger and more internationally diversified than CleanR's domestic Latvian focus.
• Biffa plc: UK-listed waste management company providing collection, recycling, and treatment services. Comparable in waste services focus and listed-debt capital structure but operates at materially larger scale in the UK market.

Direct peers

• Eco Baltia: Latvian/Baltic environmental services group providing waste collection, recycling, and circular economy solutions. Most direct local competitor, with overlapping segments in waste management, secondary raw materials, and recycling — comparable size and customer base (municipalities, producers).
• Getliņi EKO: Riga's primary municipal solid waste landfill operator and waste management company. Directly comparable to CleanR's core household waste business serving Riga residents, operating adjacent in the same value chain (collection → landfill/treatment).
