Viridor calls itself "one of the UK's leading resource and waste management companies".[1]
Viridor and South West Water are subsidiaries of the Pennon Group.[2]
Controversies
Viridor operates waste incinerators, amongst its other activities. In 2009 a former Viridor employee, Patrick Sudlow, claimed that pollution monitoring records at Viridor’s Bolton incinerator were falsified to cover up poor performance. An article in the South Wales Echo reported:
- Mr Sudlow’s claims emerged as Viridor’s controversial plans for an incinerator to burn 350,000 tonnes of waste a year in the Splott ward of the capital were being discussed today at the city council’s planning committee.[3]
