What iff you could be a Change Maker?
Biffa has been changing the way people think about waste for over 100 years. We’ve been driving change by asking the right questions. Like what iff...?
What iff you had £10,000 to make a change?
At Biffa, we help businesses to unlock the potential value of waste - through reuse, redistribution, and recycling. We work with innovative organisations, big and small, to create exciting and effective solutions that reduce waste and help leave a smaller carbon footprint. Whether it is electrifying our fleet of trucks or finding a new lease of life for unwanted inflatables.
And we’re always on the lookout for more likeminded businesses and entrepreneurs working to reduce waste. Which is why we have launched our Change Makers competition. If you are making changes and are looking for support, you could win £10,000 and become the next Biffa Change Maker. You don’t even need to be an established business – you might just have an idea or a particular skill that you wish to grow into a business. If so then follow these 3 simple steps to enter.

Kate takes impossible to recycle waste materials and transforms them into amazing new products, which have taken Etsy by storm!
Recognising her ambition to give waste a second life, the Biffa Cornwall team have provided Flotsam Flo a studio space within the Redruth depot in addition to materials, resources and logistical support.
Flotsam Flo now has bins to collect materials at several locations of Biffa clients. Biffa Cornwall has facilitated a micro-circular economy, ensuring Kate’s amazing idea can grow in tough economic conditions.
