Toby Woolrych, Chief Financial Officer of Renewi plc, commented:

"We appreciate the strong support from retail and qualified investors for our latest Green issuance, and we are pleased to have closed the offer early as a result.  We now have long term green financing in place to support our ambitious plans to invest in the Benelux circular economy.  Renewi is on a mission to increase our recycling rates from the current industry-leading 66% to 75% by 2025.  We have identified investments in advanced sorting, in building materials production, in mattress recycling, in plastics recycling, in the production of Bio-LNG, amongst many others that are making a real difference to advance the Circular Economy, to reduce CO2 emissions and to reduce resource depletion."
