We’re thrilled to announce a new partnership between Flotilla and Papilo, a leading environmental solutions provider business helping organisations reduce ‘waste’ to realise the value of surplus materials that is being disposed of, reduce costs, and move towards a circular economy.
Papilo provides outsourced recycling and environmental solution services across a range of sectors, delivering compliant, data-driven strategies that help clients improve recycling rates while embedding sustainable, cost-efficient operations. Their advisory, service-led and asset-light approach enables flexibility and scalability across the UK and Northern Europe.
As part of Palatine’s Impact Fund, Papilo is already recognised for its strong ESG and impact credentials. Through this new partnership, Papilo will build on that foundation using Flotilla’s market-leading ESG tech and consultancy framework, which provides the data, structure, and insight to monitor, measure, and accelerate sustainability outcomes.
Papilo has signed up to Flotilla’s Net Zero Solutions (NZS) package, designed for growing businesses looking to create long-term value by embedding sustainability practices that align with both cultural and commercial goals.
The Papilo NZS package includes:
· Full sustainability tech platform

· KPI tracking and decarbonisation pathway mapping

“Together, we’re committing to measurable, meaningful climate action,” said Ashleigh Duke, ESG Lead at Papilo. “This partnership reflects our shared belief that collaboration drives real progress and that sustainability is not just a goal, but a responsibility.”
We’re excited to be working alongside the Papilo team and look forward to sharing updates on their progress as we help them turn sustainability ambition into measurable performance, growth and value creation. About Palatine & Its ESG-Driven Philosophy.
