Managing waste in the logistics sector

Logistics firms face a whole host of challenges when it comes to waste management. In some cases, their customers’ goods may be overstored or damaged and need to be collected quickly so that warehouse space can be freed up for other products. They also have bins for storing the waste that their own haulage operations have generated – including hazardous waste – and these need to be emptied as well. What’s more, such companies often handle large volumes of returns that must be sent on for treatment. All these different types of waste not only have to be recycled or disposed of by professionals using environmentally compatible processes, they also have to be analysed and declared first. And then, of course, there are the large amounts of non-hazardous waste that can all be recycled for reuse, such as cardboard and plastic packaging. REMONDIS Industrie Service has a suitable solution for all these different material streams. Provided by just one company and using high-quality, certified systems.

Transport companies can’t always choose what goods they get to convey from A to B. If they transport products that are potentially hazardous for humans and the environment and these products or their packaging become damaged, then they immediately become a case for waste management professionals. Action needs to be taken quickly in line with the AVV [German Federal Waste Catalogue Ordinance]. Damaged drums, jerry cans or sacks, for example, have to be transferred into suitable specialist containers and the contents of damaged IBCs have to be moved into IBCs that are fit for purpose. We are always there for you at your side to support you with our storage, transport and disposal logistics as well as with our extensive know-how. Our drivers are highly qualified and know exactly how to handle dangerous substances so that, should it be necessary, they can transfer materials into the transport containers that they bring with them on your behalf.
