Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, despite the net liabilities position due to the group support provided. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “In October 2024 RenEco Ltd acquired the whole undertaking of Whites Recycling. This strategic acquisition marks a significant milestone for both companies. This integration will enhance capabilities, service offerings and innovative commitment to sustainability.”
