Valpak

Working Together Towards a Profitable, Sustainable, Waste-Free World

Valpak, a Reconomy brand, is the leading provider of environmental compliance and sustainability solutions. Our vision is to create a better planet for future generations by putting sustainability at the centre of every business. If you feel that this aligns with your values, we are confident that you could further your career with Valpak.

Since the Packaging Waste Regulations were introduced, we’ve provided simple and innovative environmental solutions to over 4,000 customers. We’ve also expanded with new offerings and alternative services to cover wider areas of sustainability including waste management and recycling, carbon management, energy management, international compliance and data management.

When Valpak became a Reconomy brand in 2018, a green powerhouse was born. Our combined stature matches the size of our shared ambitions – to drive the circular economy on the global stage.

Valpak has over 400 colleagues that work within a friendly and supportive environment that enables individuals to perform to the best of their abilities, with flexible hours, hybrid working options, access to training and opportunities to get involved in various working groups and committees to nurture key interests.

With social value at the heart of our business ethos, employees are offered time to volunteer for an organisation of their choice, and our Charity Committee organises fundraising events for the colleague nominated charity of the year.

Valpak endorses wellbeing and healthy lifestyles, offering subsidised gym membership, healthy living seminars, and social events encouraging cross team integration. Plus, the “After Work” social group organises regular gatherings – an opportunity to get to know friendly faces.
