A quarter of a century of comprehensive waste management solutions
Since 1994, we have been helping our customers with the ecological reuse, recycling, energy processing and careful disposal of all types of waste. We assume all responsibilities for you and provide outsourcing of waste management including the related legislation and consultancy. We design, implement and operate wastewater treatment plants and sewage treatment facilities. Our over 200 professionals provide you with 30 neutralization, demulsification and recycling facilities throughout the Czech Republic and Slovakia, supply liquid chemicals to your businesses across Europe, from which they remove waste for ecological processing. The quality of our services is supported in the framework of the PURUM GROUP by innovative recycling procedures and technologies based on our own research, development and accredited laboratories.

2018
We actively protect the Czech landscape
If we all don’t start, then who will?
We have never been a fan of landfilling; we have always preferred secondary waste recovery. In addition to recycling waste materials, we also clean up illegal dumps as part of the voluntary cleaning action Ukliďme svět, ukliďme Česko (Let’s Clean the World, Let’s Clean the Czech Republic). We pedal for miles with colleagues in the framework of the initiative Do práce na kole (To Work by Bike). In the Ministry of Industry and Trade project Přeměna odpadů na zdroje (Transforming Waste into a Source), we rewarded innovative projects that work with secondary raw materials, save primary resources and make the Earth a better place to live. In collaboration with Nadací Ivana Dejmala pro ochranu přírody (The Ivan Dejmal Foundation for Nature Conservation), we support extremely important biodiversity for the long-term, natural and healthy existence of beautiful Czech forests.

We invest into the future
A ban on landfilling of untreated municipal waste in the Czech Republic comes into force and we invest in the thermal recovery of waste. In addition to our own facility in Kolín, we become a supplier of waste to energy recovery facilities in Prague, Brno, Liberec as well as in Plzeň. We reduce the environmental impacts and costs of our customers reduce the water content of carwash sludge and oil traps using innovative technologies prior to processing. We remediate hundreds of tons of hazardous waste from the former oilfield in Lovosice and successfully complete the recultivation of the Chotyně landfill.
