AO RECYCLING LIMITED
Company number 05486613 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
AO Recycling Limited functions as the WEEE compliance and hazardous waste processing arm for its parent, AO World Plc. While the available 2014 financials display a material working capital deficit and negligible cash reserves, the 100% ownership by a major listed retailer provides an implicit safety net. The primary analytical limitation is the age of the financial data; current financial exposure cannot be accurately quantified without reviewing recent filings.
