Waste consulting services for businesses
Today, efficient waste management is about more than meeting legal requirements. Instead, it has now become a decisive factor for cost control, sustainability and operating efficiency. We help businesses with the integrated analysis and optimisation of waste processes, designing them to ensure full legal compliance.
Waste management challenges
The specific challenges for achieving efficient waste management are strongly dependent on company structure as well as industry-specific conditions. At the same time, however, there are several challenges that affect all companies equally, regardless of their particular industry or sector.
Examples include the following:
- Uncertainties about the handling of (hazardous) waste
- High waste disposal costs
- Compliance with legal requirements and record-keeping in particular
- Lack of space on premises
- Inefficient processes (e.g. routes, company-internal waste creation points)
- Inadequate waste/carbon accounting
- Concerns about innovations

Waste consultation procedure
Step 1: Analysis
After an initial kick-off meeting, our experts analyse your existing waste streams and processes, both digitally and physically by means of an on-site visit. Combining these two approaches lets us compare the available waste data with practical realities and investigate any anomalies.
The following factors are considered here:
- Waste types, quantities and material streams (e.g. waste accounts)
- Separation/collection strategies
- Sorting qualities of individual waste fractions
- Disposal/logistics processes (as applicable)
- Cost structures and contracts
- Routes and waste-related processes
- Container strategies
- Legal requirements (e.g. GewAbfV, KrWG in Germany)
- Existing training materials and work instructions
Important: Our analysis is neutral and independent of any existing waste management providers. Its sole aim is to identify the best solution for your company – economically and objectively.
Step 2: Evaluation and recommendations for action
We present you with a fully substantiated, written evaluation with specific recommendations for action (e.g. proposals for container adjustment, optimised pick-up cycles, improvements to intralogistics) – plus optional assistance for implementation. We can also organise a workshop, as appropriate.
Potential post-rollout outcomes:
- Reduced costs for waste disposal
- Improved waste separation and higher recycling rates
- Innovative circular solutions for secondary raw materials
- Legally compliant, auditable documentation
- Optimised processes and logistics
- Reduced space requirements for waste containers
- Detailed and prioritised action plans
We are happy to offer you workshops and training on the circular economy coordinated to your individual needs as a business.
