Landfill site operator, Cory Environmental Resource Management, has rebranded as Enovert. The announcement follows its sale by the Cory Environmental group last January to Armour .
And, today (17 January) the company has been granted an environmental permit to operate a biological leachate treatment plant at its Himley Quarry landfill site near Wolverhampton.

Enovert has 12 operational landfill sites, two composting facilities, three waste transfer stations and an anaerobic digestion facility. Owned by Armour Group, an international long-term liabilities specialist for the reinsurance sector based in Bermuda, the company is thought to manage in excess of 2.3 million tonnes of waste each year.

Commenting on the rebrand, Alistair Holl, managing director of Enovert, said: “The landfill and gas generation business is now independent of Cory Environmental, so needed a new identity to differentiate it and provide clarity in the marketplace.
“We have a new name and new branding but all the management, staff and sites remain unchanged, so it is very much business as usual. The name ‘Enovert’ reflects our environmental, energy and green credentials, our forward-looking and innovative outlook and our desire to develop new opportunities into the future.”
Enovert also provides disposal and treatment for a range of waste including non-hazardous waste from commercial, industrial and domestic sources; inert waste, including soils for reuse in the restoration of the landfill site; hazardous waste; green waste; and contaminated soils.
Green energy is produced from the landfill sites by collecting landfill gas, from which renewable electricity is generated and exported to the National Grid.
The company said it also supports local communities through the Government’s Landfill Communities Fund by distributing money to community improvement schemes through a number of trusts. These include the Enovert Community Trust (formerly Cory Environmental Trust in Britain); the Ibstock Enovert Trust (formerly the Ibstock Cory Environmental Trust); and the Gloucestershire Environmental Trust.
Grants
Since the Trusts were created more than £63 million has been distributed in grants to community and environmental projects, Enovert said, such as providing new or enhanced sporting facilities; delivering ecological and environmental enhancements, improving community halls, creating new play areas and skate parks, and restoring and improving green public spaces.
In terms of waste disposal method, Mr Holl explained: “Landfill remains an important component of the UK’s waste management strategy to dispose of materials that cannot be efficiently reused, recycled or recovered, and to provide additional disposal capacity in the event of short term pressures on local authorities.
“As operations at our landfill sites come to a close, Enovert is committed to high quality site restoration and the long-term aftercare management of our landfill sites for decades to come. Typically our landfill sites are being restored to create natural habitats, such as woodlands or parks, which will foster biodiversity and provide a valuable public amenity for current and future generations.”
