For over 30 years, circular economy concepts and waste management planning have been a key area of focus for INFRASTRUKTUR & UMWELT. In this context, we have supported local, regional, and national government institutions worldwide in developing tailored waste management strategies and implementing holistic waste disposal systems to protect our global resources, the climate, and public health.
Since 2024, we have significantly reduced our activities in this area following the departure of the partner responsible for it.
In individual cases, we still work in the field of circular economy and waste management for long-standing clients, or in connection with projects in the areas of climate protection and climate adaptation. These projects focus on interconnected
systems and synergies with water- and climate-focused tasks, where the framework requirements for technical and institutional solutions also touch on issues related to circular economy and waste management concepts.
By improving waste management and promoting the circular economy, we take responsibility for our planet and support sustainable protection of our environment and natural resources. With the help of adapted, integrated waste management systems, we close material cycles and protect water, soil, climate and human health. However, we can only implement good infrastructural solutions successfully if we create the necessary underlying conditions on the ground – legally, institutionally, financially and also in terms of social policy.
