About Combineering
Making waste our infinite resource
A truly sustainable transition is dependent on our ability to transform huge amounts of waste into an infinite resource, recycling again and again so that future generations can inherit a green, clean world.
Over the last four decades, we have developed several standardized waste recycling solutions which have been implemented in and across industries. Our large-scale circular methods stand out because they consist of highly specialized solutions – each one developed to maximize recycling rates, reduce waste, and reduce CO2 emissions.
Combineering is a green tech development company that promotes the circular economy. When we have developed a new standardized waste recycling solution, we enter into long-term contracts with multiple suppliers and receivers and thus generating recurring revenue for every ton of waste. We also assist our customers with managing logistics, notification, and ensuring full legal compliance. In short, our business grows with every ton of recycled waste.
Our work proves that the potential to transform waste into resources is endless. With our innovative and professional approach to sustainable waste handling, we challenge and improve existing technologies and our standardized solutions have been implemented by international businesses and public entities.
Join our circular waste-handling movement.
We give waste new life
At Combineering, we are committed to easing the pressure on the planet’s raw materials and reducing CO2 emissions by recycling waste and turning it into new resources. We are strengthening the circular economy, which is one of the most important prerequisites for realising the green transition.
Over four decades, our engineers have developed and refined methods and techniques to give new life to waste all over the world – and our waste recycling solutions have shown us that the potential is enormous. That is why we have stepped up our efforts in recent years, developing increasingly creative and innovative methods of circular waste management
We help both private companies and public authorities manage their waste and by-products throughout Europe and beyond.
At Combineering, we act as responsible buyers, we ensure a responsible and sustainable production of new resources, and we match these end-products with the companies that need them. We calculate the CO2 savings for the entire process. That way, all our customers and partners can see how they contribute to the green transition, ensuring a cleaner and greener world for future generations.
