Logistics & Wastemanagement
As a customer recycling precious metals from waste, you have one main goal: An uncomplicated process that you can trust to make your precious metal available again quickly.
Introduction
Often, however, this is more easily said than done. The movement of precious metal wastes is subject to many statutory regulations (waste regulations, transport regulations) that must be taken into account before and during transport. This is especially true when moving the material across borders, which often requires a great deal of expertise and many years of experience. Let us help you!
With a standardized evaluation, we can develop the best logistical solution and processing method for you in advance. We will guide you through the whole process.
If requested, we will analyze your recycling material. Once the contents are known, we can classify them according to the regulations and work with you to determine an individualized processing plan, thereby saving you time and money. Our experts know what you are doing and work to ensure that your materials are handled in compliance with all applicable regulations, giving you legal certainty.
