Your EfbV Certification at a glance

In the past, it was frequently the case that waste was not disposed of properly, leading to considerable environmental damage. The rules set out in the Ordinance on Specialized Waste Management Companies were created to ensure the transparency of the disposal of the waste as well as complete traceability. In addition to comprehensive documentation, this also includes proof of the equipment used by the company, that it has sufficiently qualified personnel and proof of the expertise of the waste management company.
Our experts check on a neutral basis the fulfillment of the requirements of the EfbV in terms of the organization, equipment and activities of your company as well as the reliability and competence of your employees.
