ICP Ingenieurgesellschaft Prof. Czurda und Partner mbH - Member of the SIERA Alliance, is an environmental engineering company with a clear focus on sustainable infrastructure, integrated waste management and landfill planning. Based on decades of international project experience, the company supports public and private clients in transforming complex waste management challenges into robust and sustainable systems. In line with the guiding principle of the SIERA Alliance „Engineering For A Better Tomorrow“ ICP Ingenieurgesellschaft develops integrated waste-to-resource solutions that protect the environment and at the same time create sustainable economic and operational added value.
In view of the rising volumes of waste worldwide and increasingly strict regulatory requirements, traditional approaches focussed purely on disposal are no longer sufficient. Today, waste management systems must close material cycles, recover energy, protect ecosystems and contribute to achieving climate and circular economy goals. This is precisely where the specialist area Waste management and landfill planning of ICP Ingenieurgesellschaft plays a decisive role.
From waste management to resource management
Modern waste management is no longer limited to pure disposal. Today, the focus is on system integration, resource efficiency and long-term environmental performance. The ICP Engineering Company supports this change by developing solutions that:
- Reduce dependence on landfills
- Maximise the recovery of materials and energy
- Extend the service life of existing disposal systems
- Protecting soil, groundwater and ecosystems
Through the consistent integration of Waste-to-Resource Principles Throughout all planning phases, the company supports its clients in transforming linear waste streams into closed, circular systems.
Planning regional waste management programmes to close material cycles
One of the core competences of ICP Ingenieurgesellschaft lies in the planning of regional and national waste management programmes. These programmes integrate all stages of the waste chain into a uniform, coherent overall system.
Central components include
- Optimisation of waste collection and logistics
- Treatment and sorting strategies
- Planning of recycling and recovery infrastructures
- Concepts for residual waste and landfills
By harmonising the technical design with regulatory framework conditions and regional circumstances, the ICP Engineering Company ensure that waste streams are managed efficiently while valuable materials remain in the cycle. These integrated concepts directly support Strategies for the circular economy and enable municipalities and regions to achieve sustainability and compliance targets.
Transformation of landfills into controlled resource systems
Landfills remain a necessary part of modern waste management systems. However, their role is changing fundamentally. The ICP Engineering Company plans Technically mature landfill systems, that go far beyond mere deposition.
Waste-to-Resource measures in landfill planning include, among others:
- Collection of landfill gas and energy recovery
- Advanced systems for leachate collection and treatment
- Stabilisation and monitoring of landfill bodies
- Phased development to extend the service life of the site
These approaches turn landfills into controlled bioreactors, that can generate energy and minimise environmental risks at the same time. Sustainable leachate management protects groundwater resources, while the utilisation of landfill gas contributes to climate protection and the achievement of renewable energy targets.
Planning of MBT plants for value creation from residual waste
Mechanical-biological treatment plants (MBT plants) play a central role in waste-to-resource strategies, especially where recycling quotas and landfill restrictions apply. The ICP Engineering Company supports its clients in the Planning and design of MBT systems, which recover both materials and energy from residual waste streams.
The objectives of MBT system planning include
- Recovery of recyclable fractions
- Biological stabilisation of organic components
- Production of refuse-derived fuels (RDF)
- Reduction of landfill volumes and emissions
By integrating MBT plants into regional waste management systems, the ICP Engineering Company contribute to the recycling of residual waste in Secondary raw materials and energy sources and reduce dependence on primary resources.
Optimisation of waste streams to reduce landfill dependency
Effective waste-to-resource systems are based on optimised waste streams. The ICP Ingenieurgesellschaft - Member of the SIERA Alliance, analyses waste compositions, volume flows and treatment routes in order to Targeted optimisation potential to identify.
Optimisation strategies include, among other things:
- Separation of high-quality material fractions
- Prioritisation of recycling and recovery routes
- Reduction of untreated waste that is sent to landfill
- Capacity planning to extend the life cycles of disposal sites
This systemic optimisation ensures that landfills are used exclusively for stabilised, non-recyclable residual materials, thereby significantly reducing environmental pollution and long-term liability risks.
Environmentally resilient landfill infrastructure
The protection of soil, groundwater and ecosystems is an indispensable requirement of modern waste infrastructure. ICP Ingenieurgesellschaft plans Environmentally resilient landfill systems, that meet the highest technical and regulatory standards.
Central infrastructure elements include
- Multi-layer sealing systems
- Systems for leak detection and monitoring
- Measures for slope stability and erosion control
- Long-term aftercare and decommissioning concepts
These measures ensure that landfill sites are operated safely and in compliance with regulations throughout the entire operational phase and in aftercare, and that natural resources are protected for future generations.
Integration of circular economy and net zero strategies
In addition to technical planning, ICP Ingenieurgesellschaft also supports its clients, Principles of the circular economy and net zero strategies into their waste management solutions.
This includes, among other things:
- Life cycle-based planning approaches
- Integration of energy recovery
- Strategies for reducing emissions
- Long-term monitoring of environmental performance
By aligning infrastructure planning with sustainability goals, the company supports public clients and private operators in achieving measurable environmental and climate protection targets.
