versatile solutions
in waste management

Ecoconcept Consulting Ltd is an international environmental consultancy founded by specialized professionals with over 15 years of experience in the waste management sector. Thanks to the pooled resources and connections developed over the years, Ecoconcept Consulting is in a unique position to provide its' clients with the best solutions available for their waste management, both nationally and internationally.

Our expertise stems from years of work experience in well-known waste management companies in Europe (Italy, Denmark and Greece) and from our continuous successful collaboration with companies worldwide.

Our philosophy here at Ecoconcept Consulting is to develop versatile solutions that optimize waste management; firstly, we discover the most economical solution in combination with the best recycling technology; secondly, we focus on minimizing the challenges that can cause potential delays in project development/execution; and last but not least, we consider disposal as a last resort.

Our goal is to provide holistic and adaptable solutions that go beyond what the competition can offer. Every new challenge adds to our on-going motivation.

The waste management market is continuously evolving and the interpretation of the law is different from country to country. Ecoconcept Consulting works tirelessly on developing new concepts and ideas, exploring new possibilities so that we can offer a service others cannot.

Through our research and our global network we create new opportunities finding the best match between producers and end-users and vice versa.

Our process involves doing a thorough analysis of the waste, exhaustively mapping all available opportunities, validating and screening each opportunity together with the economic scenarios that it entails so that the end result is a convenient, mutually-beneficial and environmentally friendly solution for both supply and demand parties.

Thanks to our lonterm hands-on experience, we are well aware that a unique solution is not enough to guarantee a successful outcome. Ecoconcept will analyze every possible risk upfront (documentation, logistic optimization, requirements by the authorities etc.) in order to guarantee that the project will be positively concluded.

Ecoconcept Consulting excels in finding solutions for a diverse range of products and materials such as residual fuel oil, metal containing components and plastics, hazardous and non-hazardous waste such as spent catalysts containing transition metals (Vanadium, Zinc, Molybdenum, Cobalt, Tungsten etc.), alternative liquid fuels (i.e. solvents), RDF (refuse derive fuel), SRF, inorganic waste (sludge from metallurgical treatment, solid waste from gas treatment etc.), organic waste (tank bottoms, oily sludge etc.). In addition, we assist our clients in other different aspects such as waste classification, prior written notifications for transboundary shipment of waste non-green -listed (TFS), Annex VII/Green list waste and logistics. Through our network we are also able to find companies who can assist in on-site waste re-packaging if necessary.

We work directly with waste producers such as RDF/SRF producers, refineries, power plants, chemical companies, steel plants, metallurgical companies, pharmaceutical companies, certified waste transfer stations or brokers and many others and send the waste mainly to waste recovery facilities such as Waste to Energy plants, metal recovery facilities etc. but also industries authorized to re-integrate certain waste streams e.g. cement plants etc.

We are active all over Europe i.e. Italy, Greece, Cyprus, Austria, Poland, Germany, Belgium, UK, Portugal, Spain, France, but also Bosnia-Herzegovina, FYROM, Ukraine, Middle East and USA and we can’t wait to use our worldwide connections in order to establish new partnerships in new countries!
