Re-Gen Waste

Re-Gen Waste is an integrated recycling and waste management business that partners with local authorities across the UK and Ireland to improve recycling performance and reduce reliance on landfill. Based in Newry, the company operates a 24-hour facility and combines waste collection, logistics and advanced processing to deliver a “total diversion” style approach—recovering recyclables wherever possible and treating the remainder as residual waste for conversion into refuse derived fuel (RDF) for energy and industrial use.

Founded in 2004 and family-owned, Re-Gen emphasises continuous improvement and in-house engineering to drive higher recovery rates and better transparency for clients. Their model is built around practical, high-throughput solutions for co-mingled streams (Mixed Dry Recycling) and black-bag residual waste, supported by a dedicated fleet and structured reporting so councils can see what’s happening within their waste stream.

Services

• Mixed Dry Recycling (MDR) / co-mingled recycling processing
• Residual Waste (black bag waste) processing / landfill diversion alternative
• Transport & logistics (fleet / backloading approach)
• Compliance (downloads: permits/licences, policies, accreditations, etc.)
• In-house Engineering (R&D + continuous improvement in recycling performance)

Who they can help

Local authorities / councils managing household MDR (co-mingled recycling) and residual waste streams, needing high diversion performance and clear reporting.
Waste contract & operations teams who need reliable collections/logistics and the ability to scale during peak periods, plant shutdowns, or service disruption (on-demand transport support).
Facilities that require overflow haulage or backload movement between NI/UK and within Ireland (North–South).
