Nord Holding: recovering waste for use as secondary raw materials
Nord Holding is a Bulgarian resource recovery company that collects, processes, trades and recycles a wide range of waste for use as secondary raw materials. It focuses on keeping valuable materials in circulation through the recovery of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, end-of-life vehicles, waste oils, tyres, waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), batteries, textiles, footwear, PVC joinery and other recyclable waste streams.
The company operates an extensive nationwide network of collection and processing facilities, enabling households and businesses to divert waste from landfill and return recovered materials to manufacturing.
Established in 1995, the company initially focused on collecting various types of waste and selling it on to recyclers in Bulgaria and elsewhere. Since 2022, it has been developing its own recycling production capacities for automotive waste oils, tyres, textiles, portable batteries, aluminium, bronze and pig iron, further strengthening domestic circular value chains.
Nord Holding applies best available recycling practices, investing in modern waste treatment technologies and optimising processes to maximise material recovery while reducing environmental impacts. Its environmental policy highlights the benefits of recycling in conserving natural resources, reducing energy consumption and lowering greenhouse gas emissions.
