About Geocycle UK


Geocycle UK is responsible for the sustainable, compliant and timely treatment of its customers’ waste streams through Holcim’s UK cement plant based at Cauldon in Staffordshire, England as well as its global network of treatment facilities. Through our recycling and recovery solutions based on cement kiln co-processing we ensure safe and sustainable recovery of waste into the cement manufacturing process. We thus help our partners achieve their environmental commitments, whilst providing solutions that are practical, economical, sustainable and to the highest health, safety and environmental standards. 

Our waste management solutions offer the opportunity to divert large volumes of hazardous, and non-hazardous waste away from landfill or traditional incineration, conserving scarce resources and reducing emissions from waste without producing any ultimate residues.

Rethinking waste to drive a circular economy


Geocycle is a worldwide leading provider of waste management services for the industrial, municipal and agricultural sectors. Our UK site based in Cauldon, Staffordshire, provides circular solutions for over 100 kt of waste every year.

Handling waste in a responsible and economic manner can be challenging for businesses and municipalities. At Geocycle UK we work with our customers to offer innovative and tailored waste management solutions to help solve these challenges. We rethink the current ‘take-make-dispose’ approach to recycle and recover waste through co-processing in cement kilns.
