Description

Green Group Holding specialises in waste management in the broadest meaning of the term. Active across Europe, its headquarters are in Romania and its primary facilities are in Central East and South East Europe and the Baltic countries. It collects waste and recycles it into secondary raw materials.

Green Group Holding comprises a number of companies with different focuses, including:

GREENTECH recycles PET containers into flakes used to make r-PET. The PET containers are also turned into PET straps and polyester fibres which are suitable for technical, automotive, construction, home textiles, hygiene and filtration system applications..

GREENWEEE processes electric and electronic waste into aluminium, components, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastic and shredded plastic, glass and copper which are then sold on.

GREENGLASS provides high-purity glass cullet (purity minimum: 99,99%).

GREENRESOURCES focuses on implementing extended producer responsibility for packaging waste. They offer a straightforward solution which enables manufacturers to comply with legislative requirements, comprising carbon footprint calculation and reporting. They channel funds from the manufacturer to collection, sorting and recycling activities in order to meet national recycling targets.

Green Group Holding puts the circular economy into action. Rather than just collecting rubbish, it collects a resource which is used to make more goods. It produces valuable secondary raw materials and reduces the final amount of waste.
