Realize your zero-waste ambition with support that enables you to manage complex waste streams, minimize hazardous waste, and divert waste from landfills. We provide expert guidance that helps you climb the waste hierarchy and turn waste into value.

As EU regulations such as the Waste Framework Directive and the Landfill Directive tighten, companies face increasing pressure to reduce waste, report transparently, and recover more materials. At the same time, investors and customers are demanding products and operations with low environmental impact.

We help you stay ahead of these requirements by transforming your waste strategy – from reducing landfill dependence and managing hazardous waste, to optimizing your own on-site recycling and unlocking material value. Through deep operational knowledge and access to Stena Recycling Group’s expertise, we deliver practical, data-driven solutions that improve performance, cut costs, and strengthen your sustainability position.

Whether you are just beginning your zero-waste journey or scaling up circular practices, our services are designed to support you at every stage. Explore our services or start with a quick-win assessment such as our recycling rate report.

Waste-to-Value

We help businesses turn residual waste into resource opportunities.

By identifying high-potential waste streams, we assess repurposing and recycling pathways that reduce costs, create new revenue streams, or supply material to other value chains. Our team conducts feasibility studies, material flow assessments, and solution mapping to support implementation - unlocking economic and environmental value.

Hazardous waste minimization

We help businesses minimize waste contamination, keeping more materials recyclable and non-hazardous.

By identifying contamination sources, we improve waste management through dilution, segregation, and process adjustments. Additionally, assistance is provided in reclassifying waste to transform byproducts into valuable resources, along with compliance support for necessary documentation and reporting requirements.

Landfill & incineration diversion

We identify and support the implementation of recycling solutions that help you move higher up the waste hierarchy and minimize losses.

This includes both low-value materials and recyclable items that are discarded due to poor sorting or contamination, inefficient manufacturing processes, and insufficient waste sorting. Our expertise includes mapping waste flows, feasibility studies, innovative recycling methods, and material recycling initiatives. Our data-driven approach enhances resource efficiency and processes while reducing environmental impact from waste, from creation to landfill.

For businesses looking to establish or improve their own recycling capabilities on site, we offer comprehensive support in designing, setting up, and optimizing sorting and recycling operations.

We integrate recycling processes into existing workflows with minimal disruption, for instance, helping companies regrind plastics from production waste and repurpose materials effectively. By identifying the best equipment, vendors, and solutions, we ensure efficient recycling operations tailored to material flow and production needs.
