Sustainability

We close the raw material cycle in industrial processes and technology metals

Our  companies make an important contribution to sustainability, resource conservation and the circular economy. We close raw material cycles in industrial processes, technology metals and electromobility and set new technological standards, for example in plant engineering. Our specialists recycle electric batteries, ammunition and hazardous materials in a professional, safe and environmentally compliant way.  We return the recovered components to the material cycle and the process heat is used in the local energy supply. Our experienced team develops state-of-the-art, customer-specific solutions in plant construction for biogas, pilot and laboratory plants, as well as in the exploration of mineral raw materials and in water technology. In addition, our group of companies operates an independent accredited analytical laboratory in Lübbenau/Spreewald, where, for example, drinking water tests are carried out.
