The waste and recycling team can help with any financial needs that a range of businesses might have.
Waste and Recycling finance is a specialised type of funding designed to help businesses in the waste management and recycling sectors acquire essential equipment and infrastructure. This type of finance enables companies to invest in high-value assets such as Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs), balers, shredders, trommels, and refuse collection vehicles—without the need for large upfront capital outlays.
By leveraging tailored financing solutions such as Hire Purchase or Finance Lease businesses can manage cash flow effectively while ensuring they have the necessary machinery to optimise operations, increase efficiency, and support sustainable growth.
Our in-house waste and recycling specialist team can assist with any of your financial requirements.
Significant upfront deposit
Purchasing recycling equipment often requires a significant upfront deposit, which can be a challenge for many businesses. We can help by refinancing existing assets within the business, providing an unsecured business loan, or restructuring existing debt to generate the cash for the deposit. This allows companies to gain the necessary cash to invest in new recycling machinery without straining their cash flow.
Complex staged payment requirements
Recycling equipment purchases can involve complex staged payment requirements from vendors, making it difficult for businesses to manage cash flow effectively. We can offer a range of tailored finance solutions to accommodate these structured payment plans, ensuring that suppliers are paid on time.
Limited Appetite from Traditional Lenders
Many traditional lenders have a restricted appetite for financing recycling equipment due to day 1 depreciation and high ‘wear and tear’. However, MAF Finance Group has access to a wide panel of specialist funders who understand the value and longevity of recycling machinery. This enables us to secure competitive rates and favourable terms for businesses looking to invest in recycling equipment.
We offer solutions for a variety of waste and recycling assets, including:

The circular economy is a sustainable approach that focuses on minimising waste and maximising the lifespan of resources. Unlike the traditional "take, make, dispose" model, it promotes the continual reuse, refurbishment, and recycling of materials to create a closed-loop system. This reduces reliance on raw materials, decreases environmental impact, and supports long-term resource efficiency.

How Asset Finance Supports the Circular Economy
Asset finance plays a crucial role in helping businesses transition to circular economy practices. By offering flexible funding solutions, it enables companies to acquire essential equipment, technology, or machinery without large upfront costs. This allows businesses to implement sustainable solutions while maintaining financial stability.
Types of Asset Finance Used in Circular Economy Sectors:
Equipment Leasing: Businesses can access machinery and technology without full ownership, making it ideal for recycling facilities and manufacturers.
Hire Purchase: Enables businesses to spread payments over time while working toward full ownership of recycling equipment.
Operating Leases: Short-term leasing options allow companies to upgrade equipment as technology advances, ensuring efficiency in recycling and waste management.
By utilising asset finance, businesses can remain competitive, reduce environmental impact, and seamlessly integrate circular economy principles into their operations.
