Waste Testing
& Recycling.

Remnants of human activity are not a dead end, but a resource. Our laboratory helps in determining the precise composition of waste streams, measuring energy content, and achieving sustainability goals.

Laboratory testing of waste composition

Expert Support for All Sectors

Quantitative and compositional testing of waste is also required by EU legislation. We offer our services in the following areas:

Industrial Companies

Analytical testing of plant waste and environmental support for production processes.

Construction Industry

Professional qualification of demolition and construction waste, pre-construction environmental assessment.

Energy Sector

Classification and heating value testing of alternative fuels (SRF, RDF) for energy production.

Municipalities

Public space assessments and analytics required for eliminating illegal waste dumps.

Private Individuals

Identification and classification of waste of unknown origin accumulated on residential properties.

Remediation

Expert measurements required for fact-finding, remediation planning, and implementation.

Classification and continuous environmental monitoring of waste disposal sites.

Fact-finding of contaminated areas and investigation of illegal dumps with accredited measurements.

Classification of waste for landfill suitability assessment and verification of legal compliance.

Our Testing Portfolio.

Our accredited laboratory performs comprehensive sampling and analytical testing in the following categories in accordance with current standards.

  • Individual and composite sampling
  • Continuous sampling from waste streams
  • Waste sorting and composition determination
  • Classification according to the European Waste Catalogue (EWC)
  • Hazardous waste classification and characterization

Fuel Analytics

Energy testing of combustible waste (SRF, RDF) and other fuels.

  • Determination of energy content and heating value
  • Classification of fuels (SRF, RDF)
  • Measurement of chlorine and sulfur content
  • Analysis of combustion residues (ash)

Chemical & Physical Analysis

Landfill suitability testing and measurement of general chemical characteristics.

  • Landfill suitability testing (leaching tests)
