Enva acquires battery firm SAR Recycling

Enva has announced the acquisition of Immingham-based battery recycling firm SAR Recycling for an undisclosed fee.

SAR Recycling describes itself as a “leading battery collection and recycling service that operates across the UK and Ireland”. Its business includes “recovering valuable component materials from batteries which are then sold to global smelters and into the plastic recycling industry”.

The SAR Recycling acquisition was described as a ‘logical extension’ of Enva’s specialist waste recovery business

Enva, a provider of recycling and resource recovery solutions within the UK and Ireland, says it manages a broad range of hazardous and non-hazardous waste materials from industrial and commercial customers.

This includes operations in the waste wood field, after it acquired Hadfield Wood Recyclers in 2018.

Commenting on the SAR Recycling acquisition, Simon Dick, managing director at Enva, said: “SAR’s capability is a logical extension for our specialist waste recovery business, particularly in the automotive and workshop sector. We are delighted with the acquisition and are looking forward to working closely with the SAR team to grow and develop the business especially as emerging battery chemistries become more prevalent.”

Arvydas Pocevicius, general manager of SAR Recycling, added: “I and the rest of the SAR team are excited to join Enva. We are looking forward to continuing to provide a high-quality, consistent service and to supporting the Enva ethos of further developing our recovery processes and end markets.”
