Managing hazardous waste for the armed forces

A question of safety and security: the global management of hazardous waste for the armed forces

REMONDIS Industrie Service has specialised in managing waste for the armed forces for many years. We are able to provide reliable support no matter whether our hazardous waste management services are needed on a continuous, long-term basis for barracks or for short-term assignments during military operations or exercises. Thanks to our global network, we are able to accompany task forces wherever we’re needed – from Europe, to Asia, to Africa. Our central military services division organises and coordinates all our hazardous waste management services for the armed forces. This ensures that the armed force generating the waste receives a reliable package of waste management services and has as small a workload as possible.

We have waste management solutions for practically every type of waste – no matter how big or small the amount or how hazardous or contaminated it may be. Get in touch to find out more

Efficient waste management solutions for military bases

There is one thing in particular that our contractual partners expect of us: long-term security, i.e. they need to know that the service agreements they conclude with us will be reliably delivered. Not just high levels of expertise are required to be able to do this – especially regarding the disposal and recycling of all types of waste – but also in-depth knowledge of all statutory regulations. On the one hand, this means, of course, adhering to the general, internationally recognised waste hierarchy. It is equally important, though, to have comprehensive know-how of the different countries’ rules and regulations regarding waste treatment and waste management documentation, such as Germany’s KrWG [German Federal Circular Economy Act]..

Quick response times, flexible solutions and reliable collections with REMONDIS Industrie Service

Working with the armed forces often involves scenarios and waste management tasks that can’t be planned long beforehand. It is, therefore, extremely important to be able to get to where we’re needed quickly when there are emergency assignments or unexpected developments in areas of conflict in Europe or overseas. Thanks to our large capacities, we are able to do just this – no matter whether we’re called on to manage medical waste for an ad hoc camp or to organise the complex waste management logistics for a mobile task force. You are able to rely on us completely and need do nothing else other than commission us with the work. It goes without saying that all waste management tasks are carried out at your military location without your everyday operations being disrupted. Furthermore, the safety of your troops and our staff are our no. 1 priority.

Metals and other recyclable materials are collected from the barracks and professionally recycled by REMONDIS Industrie Service.

Waste management, cleaning, remediation work: REMONDIS Industrie Service is your waste management expert

We believe it is our task as a circular economy company to offer armed forces holistic solutions. This covers, on the one hand, the disposal or recycling of all hazardous waste in line with the many laws governing the management of waste and dangerous materials – including collection, transport and waste management documentation. On the other, this also means providing armed forces with additional waste management services. From handling their residual waste, to recycling their food waste and metal scrap, all the way through to treating healthcare waste using specialist processes to keep people and the environment safe. What’s more, we also specialise in industrial services and can clean, renovate and inspect separator and sewer systems. And our portfolio also covers laboratory services.
