Sustainability at HIPPO
Sustainability at HIPPO
The Future Is in Your Hands
We are committed to advancing eco-friendly rubbish removal methods that put the wellbeing of our planet and local communities first. We understand our responsibility as a rubbish collection company to reduce waste, increase recycling, and advance a circular economy. Customer satisfaction is our top priority, and we strive to run our company in a way that has the least possible negative impact on the environment. The HIPPOBAGs service as an example, helps reduce carbon emissions at point of delivery due to being lightweight and flat packed, with the benefit of being recycled after use
At HIPPO, we work with local organisations to encourage recycling and sustainable waste management in our communities. With the application of best practices that minimise waste and maximise recycling, our mission is to build a sustainable future for everyone. Join us in our mission to protect our planet and preserve its resources for future generations

In Collaboration with Ecologi
At HIPPO, we are invested in reducing our carbon footprint and mitigating the environmental impact of our operations. That is why we have taken steps to offset our carbon emissions through the purchase of carbon credits
Through our new collaboration, we can help programmes that lower or remove carbon from the environment, such as creation of renewable energy, by investing in carbon-offsetting projects. We are pleased to provide rubbish collection services that are carbon-neutral and with our new partnership in 2023, you can now discover more about our carbon-offsetting plans and the projects HIPPO are helping to fund

Carbon Reduction of 20% through innovation
We recognise that carbon offsetting is only one part of the journey, and that reducing our carbon footprint plays a vital role in creating a more sustainable future. That’s why we remain committed to taking meaningful action to lower our emissions wherever possible.
At HIPPO, we have already invested heavily in new vehicles and technology to support real and measurable carbon reduction. Up to our most recent results in 2024, we have achieved a 20% reduction in emissions. This progress has been made possible through:
- Running our entire fleet on the new efficient Euro 6 engine
- Cutting edge routing software has made every trip we make more effective
- Adapting our facilities to be energy efficient
As part of our commitment to continuous improvement, we are constantly exploring new, environmentally friendly waste-collection methods and reviewing emerging technologies that can help minimise our impact.

Recycling
Recycling is one of the most important actions we can take to protect our planet. By turning waste into new products, we can reduce pollution, conserve resources, and create a more sustainable future for all. Over 95% of rubbish collected by HIPPO is diverted from landfill
Reduce and Reuse
Did you know that reducing and reusing are just as important as recycling in creating a sustainable future? By consuming less and finding new uses for old items, we can minimise waste and preserve our planet's resources
