Waste management

All operations related to the collection, storage, preparation for regaining and disposal of waste.

Delivery of scrap

The collected waste must be moved between the collection point and the treatment sites. The transport must be carried out in such a way that the waste does not pollute the environment. In case of contamination, the polluter who caused it is obliged to clean and disinfect the contaminated area. The means of transport may only be stored at the authorized site. The cleaning of these may only be carried out in a strictly regulated place, from which the used water goes into the sewer network, or after cleaning, into the utility replacement equipment. The transport can only be carried out by vehicles and equipment suitable for the purpose. When transporting waste, the nature of the waste must be taken into account.

Types of waste

Waste can be grouped according to several aspects. In terms of material, they can paper, plastic, wood, metal, glass, and biodegradable waste. Regarding the source of the waste, it can be, for example, generated in residential, industrial or other sectors. Residential waste can be municipal solid waste or municipal liquid  waste. In addition to these, we also distinguish hazardous and infectious waste that requires special treatment.

WEEE

E-waste is one of the fastest growing types of waste in the EU, with less than 40% recycled.

Electronic devices and appliances are a part of modern life – from washing machines and vacuum cleaners to smartphones and computers, it’s hard to imagine life without them. But the waste they produce is hampering efforts to reduce the EU’s ecological footprint.

Electronic waste, or e-waste, covers a range of products thrown away after use.

Large household appliances such as washing machines and electric cookers are the most discarded - they account for more than half of all e-waste collected. This is followed by IT equipment (laptops, printers), consumer equipment and solar panels (video cameras, fluorescent tubes) and small household appliances (vacuum cleaners, toasters).

All other categories, such as power tools and medical devices, together account for only 7.2% of the e-waste collected.

Recycling practices vary between Member States: in 2017, Croatia recycled 81.3% of all e-waste and Malta 20.8%.

In 2020, 10.3 kg of WEEE per capita was collected in the EU.

Discarded electronic and electrical equipment contains potentially harmful substances that pollute the environment and increase the risks for people involved in e-waste recycling. To tackle this problem, the EU has adopted legislation to prevent the use of certain chemicals, such as lead.

Furthermore, many rare minerals needed for modern technology come from countries that do not respect human rights.

Circular economy

For our company, sustainability and the application of the circular economic model are extremely important. In cooperation with our partners, we provide solutions that reduce harmful effects on the environment and contribute to a more sustainable future.

The circular economy is an economic model in which raw materials and resources are recycled, with products being returned to the system at the end of their life cycle. The goal is to reduce dependence on resources and the amount of waste, while creating a more sustainable and economical world.

In the long term, these benefits can bring a range of economic and environmental benefits that can contribute to a more sustainable and balanced society.
