Request a specialist discussionWhat it is about
A legally required waste management concept must not be a lifeless folder on the shelf that exists only for the authority. A practical AWK maps the real material flows of your company precisely. It lists all types of waste according to the current waste catalogue, documents the internal logistics routes and defines concrete measures for waste prevention and recovery.
It is prepared with profound lead auditor competence according to ISO 14001 and the dual role as former managing director under waste law (AWV Neunkirchen, IPPC/Seveso plants). Existing disposal contracts are reviewed and logistics at the collection points optimised. The result is a fully legally sound document that withstands official inspections and is used in the plant as a real tool for cost optimisation.
