What Encore Environment does

Encore Environment Limited is a UK-based, privately-held environmental and waste management consultancy founded in 2011 and headquartered in Sywell, Northamptonshire, with a regional office in Moorgate, London. The company delivers total waste management services (bins, skips, cages, compactors, hazardous and WEEE disposal) through a nationwide network of stringently vetted sub-contractor suppliers, alongside BREEAM consultancy, environmental consultancy, duty-of-care compliance, site audits and reporting for major UK construction contractors. Its customer base is concentrated in construction and fit-out, including Morgan Sindall Construction, Overbury, ISG, GPF Lewis, Project7, R G Carter and Verity Interiors, with secondary exposure to retail and facilities management.

Encore's core technology is a bespoke cloud-based order processing and waste broker platform paired with an intelligent client portal that provides 24/7 access to projects, automated reports, BREEAM project information and live version-control alerts. Differentiated assets include the ProjectDIVERT mobile app (a charity and recycler database that matches reusable construction materials with donation recipients), a customised IT system tracking mileage, tonnage, vehicle CO2 emissions and fuel consumption, and two social-value sub-brands: ProjectDIVERT (material diversion) and Waste Wise Kids (primary-school environmental education). The company holds ISO 14001:2015, ISO 9001, GDPR, B Corp (score 123.8), CIWM, Safe Contractor, FORS and CLOCS accreditations, and has been carbon neutral since 2022.

The business model combines recurring enterprise waste management contracts (priced via rate cards and schedules of rates, typically multi-year terms) with project-based environmental consultancy fees and BREEAM advisory work. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting large construction contractors and facilities management companies, supported by content marketing, case studies and an awards-led credibility strategy. Multiple revenue streams are described (waste management services, environmental consultancy, ProjectDIVERT managed services) but specific revenue figures, headcount and funding are not publicly disclosed. Ownership is founder-led via Managing Director Rachel Rowley, with no disclosed external institutional investment.
