Our Story

From arboriculture and forestry timber to construction, demolition & municipal wastes, Sylvagen offers straightforward and environmentally responsible disposal solutions that generate value.

For Managing Director, Charlie Jones, Sylvagen was always destined to offer a comprehensive waste recycling and recovery strategy. With firm foundations in trade due to its association with A.W. Jenkinson FP, Sylvagen quickly expanded to become an independent market leader within the renewable, recycling, and biomass fuel sectors.

Today, we offer a one-stop solution for the collection and processing of waste, as well as supplying manufacturers and energy facilities with valuable resources.

UNDERSTANDING EVERY ENTITY IN THE SUPPLY CHAIN, EVERY DAY

Collection, processing, trade, or transportation. At Sylvagen we’ve made it our business to know every aspect of the waste recycling and recovery network. Our accomplished staff value the specific needs of both suppliers and customers, recognising everyone’s role in the creation of resources. We put simplicity and sustainability first every time, resulting in a service you can trust.

Under the guidance of its innovative and expert-led team, Sylvagen works with our partners to;

  • Provide renewable fuels to biomass power stations with combined heat and power (CHP) plants or renewable heat incentive (RHI) boilers
  • Deliver raw waste materials to reprocessing depots for recycling
  • Provide fuels for energy from waste facilities (EFW)
  • Supply raw materials to panel board manufacturers for recycling

Headquartered in the South East of England and with facilities spanning the length and breadth of the British Isles, Sylvagen is uniquely positioned to offer solutions all over the United Kingdom and Northern Europe, including Scandinavia.
