iRecycle – Moving London's Waste by Water

About us

iRecycle is an innovative waste management company, dramatically reducing air pollution by utilising the canal & river network using barges to transport waste out of London. We use electric vehicles where road transport is required and all of our barges are powered using recycled cooking oil.

The Problem

London’s roads are reaching critical meltdown with congestion at its worst in history and road transport is responsible for half of the main air pollutants in the capital today

Drastic measures are needed in order to find an alternative solution to this epidemic problem we are all facing

iRecycle's Solution

At iRecycle we intend to break the mould and set ourselves apart form the competition.

By transporting our waste via London’s waterways on our fleet of barges we are drastically reducing road transport and in turn lowering Co2 emissions significantly

With Corporations under increasing pressure to reduce their carbon footprint iRecycle will play a key role in meeting CSR & environmental requirements

Success Story

iRecycle are working in partnership with LabTech to transport commercial waste away from Camden Market using barges on the Grand Union Canal.

The sustainability scheme aims to reduce Camden Market’s CO2 emissions by cutting down the number of vehicles on the road, enabling them to meet their ambitious environmental targets, which will see the amount of food waste being recycled rise from zero to fifty percent, with over 4 tonnes of food waste from general waste already being recycled into approximately 2880 kWH of energy. This has saved over 2 tonnes of CO2 in just one month.
