Waste Management & Circular Economy

Integrated waste and resource strategies, so you can reduce risks, optimise material use and meet regulatory and sustainability goals.

Effective waste management is a central component of sustainable infrastructure, industrial operations and construction projects. Increasing regulatory requirements, rising disposal costs and growing expectations around resource efficiency demand a structured and forward-looking approach to waste and material flows. We support clients in assessing waste streams, planning compliant waste management concepts and implementing technically sound solutions that enable a transition from disposal-focused practices to circular economy principles.

Why waste management now requires a circular perspective

Traditional waste disposal approaches no longer meet environmental, regulatory and economic expectations. Materials that were once treated as waste are increasingly recognised as valuable secondary resources, while improper classification or handling can lead to compliance risks and cost escalation. A circular economy perspective creates transparency across material flows, reduces dependency on primary resources and supports long-term environmental protection.

Durch die Kombination technischer Bewertungen, regulatorischer Fachkenntnisse und praktischer ingenieurtechnischer Erfahrung unterstützen wir unsere Auftraggeber bei der Entwicklung von Abfallwirtschaftsstrategien, die sowohl rechtskonform als auch zukunftsfähig sind.

What we deliver

Clear evaluation of waste and material streams.
We analyse waste origins, compositions and quantities to determine suitable pathways for recycling, reuse, treatment or disposal.

Regulatory-compliant waste management concepts.
We develop structured waste management plans that align with legal requirements, permitting conditions and project-specific constraints.

Material and resource optimisation.
Through targeted assessment of soils, aggregates and industrial residues, we identify opportunities for reuse and circular material utilisation.

Technical support for facilities and systems.
We assist in planning and evaluating collection systems, treatment facilities and landfill technologies to ensure safe and efficient operation.

Documentation and verification.
Our work provides transparent documentation that supports regulatory compliance, reporting obligations and decision-making throughout all project phases.

How we work

Our approach integrates technical waste analysis, material flow planning and regulatory alignment into a coherent framework. We work closely with clients to understand operational realities and project objectives, ensuring that waste management solutions are practical, verifiable and economically viable. By aligning strategic planning with facility-level engineering, we support consistent implementation from concept through execution.

Waste and resource management

Waste and resource management focuses on coordinating material flows across their entire life cycle. We evaluate waste streams, soils and secondary materials to identify reuse and recycling potential while ensuring that disposal routes remain safe and compliant. This integrated perspective supports reduced disposal volumes, improved resource efficiency and environmentally responsible project delivery.

Waste management concepts, plans and regulatory requirements

Structured waste management concepts define how waste is classified, collected, stored, treated and documented. We support the preparation of waste management plans for construction projects, facilities and municipal applications, ensuring alignment with applicable regulations and approval procedures.

Clear documentation of waste flows and disposal routes provides legal certainty and operational transparency.

Waste analyses and material assessment

Reliable material characterisation is essential for determining appropriate handling and treatment options. Through chemical and physical analyses, we assess waste types, industrial residues and soils to verify regulatory compliance and suitability for recycling or disposal. These assessments form the basis for informed decisions on material recovery and circular utilisation.

Waste treatment facilities and landfill technology

Waste treatment and landfill systems require careful technical evaluation to ensure long-term safety and environmental protection. We support the planning, assessment and monitoring of recycling facilities, transfer stations and landfill systems, with a focus on structural components, barrier systems, drainage layers and operational processes. Our work helps ensure that facilities function reliably and meet technical and regulatory requirements over their full service life.

Outcome

With a structured and integrated waste management strategy, waste streams become controllable, resources are used more efficiently and compliance risks are reduced. Our services support the transition toward circular economy practices that combine environmental responsibility with technical reliability and economic efficiency.
