Significant events
- “On 10 June 2024, FCC Servicios Medio Ambiente completed the purchase of the UK operations of Urbaser.”
- “Urbaser UK, now rebranded as FCC Waste Management, operates composting, material recovery, energy from waste and final disposal facilities in addition to household recycling centres. It also provides municipal waste collection, recycling centre management and street cleansing services.”
- “The ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, as well as heightened conflicts in the Middle East, continue to contribute to elevated levels of political instability and uncertainty worldwide. Fuel prices (gas, electricity and oil derived products) have fallen back from the particularly high levels seen in 2022, though they remain higher than pre-conflict levels. Inflation has almost returned to the lower levels seen in recent years, but some inflationary pressures still remain due to the uncertainties mentioned above.”
- “In October 2025 FCC Environment (UK) Limited completed the acquisition of Cumbria Waste Group Limited ("CWG"). CWG operates multiple sites covering materials recovery, composting, hazardous and liquid waste treatment, HWRCs and collections.”
