Our contribution to the environment
We conserve resources in accordance with the german KrWG
We pursue the goal of making a sustainable contribution to the environment every day. By professionally treating and recycling hazardous waste in our certified waste management companies, we help to advance the circular economy and ensure that vital resources such as water are conserved and valuable raw materials are not lost. Our treatment processes enable them to be reused and returned to the cycle. We attach great importance to an environmentally friendly and legally compliant approach.
As additional services relating to the conservation of resources in accordance of the Closed Substance Cycle Waste Management Act we complete our portfolio with plant construction, distillation, chemical trading and separator services and technology .

Where is hazardous and toxic special waste generated and how is it disposed of?
Food, cosmetic products, metal goods, adhesives, paints and varnishes and electromobility are used and consumed globally and are part of our everyday lives.
Hazardous or toxic special waste is generated during the production of these goods. Depending on its individual composition, this waste is carefully dismantled in our regularly certified facilities by experienced specialists and disposed of professionally and in an environmentally friendly manner in accordance with the german KrWG. Some hazardous waste can be recycled or used as raw materials in other processes, while others are sent for thermal recycling. In most cases, however, water and other valuable components can be isolated and returned to the recycling cycle.
