Tailor-made waste management strategies – site-based solutions from planning to rollout
Environmentally friendly disposal and bespoke services go hand-in-hand at Interzero. This is the principle we follow when working closely with our customers to develop individual, industry-specific waste management strategies while ensuring that every solution complies in full with applicable law.
What’s important for an integrated waste management strategy?

This kind of strategy has two distinct parts: the waste stream analysis and an action plan for the recommendations. As the name suggests, the analysis starts at the point of origin rather than just the waste logistics. This is why our experts always complete a detailed analysis of the actual premises, looking to discover untapped potential for cost savings and process optimisation.
Once everything has been fully investigated, we then provide assistance for implementing our recommendations for action. To do so, we can draw on our nationwide network of 600 certified waste management and recycling partners, whose services cover every conceivable type of waste fraction. This also ensures that we can meet the high standards of quality expected by our customers in any industry.
Quality by design – six steps to your waste management strategy:
1. Detailed site survey
Our experts take a close look at your site’s individual circumstances to find logistical bottlenecks and identify the best places for collection systems directly at the point of origin.
2. Analysis of relevant data and operational procedures
We review your existing contracts, volumes and internal workflows from a waste management perspective to reveal hidden cost drivers and ways to boost efficiency in your daily routine.
3. Systematic tracking of product and waste flows
By collecting and maintaining data on all your material streams, we create the end-to-end transparency needed for your sustainability management and ensure fulfilment of proof-of-compliance obligations (e.g. German Commercial Waste Ordinance, GewAbfV).
4. Strategy design based on individually agreed best practice
Starting with the analysis, we develop a made-to-measure package of measures that is carefully coordinated with your operational targets – from waste prevention through to maximising revenue with mono-material separation.
5. Handling and optimisation of all waste management work
We handle the day-to-day management of your service providers and material flows. This allows you to focus on your core business while we continue to improve your waste management footprint.
6. Dedicated, on-site support from our aftersales team
Our partnership continues seamlessly after rollout: our aftersales team responds promptly to operational changes, offers training for your employees and keeps your strategy aligned with new market conditions.
Building blocks for your tailor-made waste management strategy
An Interzero waste management strategy is no off-the-shelf product but a policy document modelled precisely to your process flows.
- Legal peace of mind (GewAbfV and Circular Economy Act (KrWG): We make sure that your site strategy complies in full with all legal requirements – such as separate collection obligations according to the GewAbfV or end-to-end waste stream tracking.
- Improvements to internal logistics: We develop routing processes that keep the times between waste generation and scheduling for pickup to a minimum.
- Waste stream management: By ensuring the targeted separation of materials – such as paper, plastics, metals and wood – we boost recycling rates and transform waste fees into revenue streams.
- Contract management from a single source: Instead of negotiating with several regional companies, you leave everything to Interzero and our nationwide network of over 600 certified waste management firms.
