From acquisition to processing: how Eurowaste ensures efficient and sustainable waste management
Effective waste management is crucial for companies looking to reduce their environmental footprint while complying with regulations. At Eurowaste, we use a structured and transparent 12-step process to optimise waste management. This process ensures efficiency, regulatory compliance and sustainability at every stage.
From initial assessment to final disposal, every part of our process is carefully designed to provide companies with a reliable and hassle-free waste management solution. In this blog, we take a closer look at our approach and how it helps companies manage waste responsibly and efficiently.
The importance of structured waste management
Waste management is more than just collecting and disposing of waste. Companies need to consider environmental legislation, operational efficiency and cost control. Without a structured approach, problems can quickly arise, such as:
- Non-compliance with environmental regulations, which can lead to fines and legal consequences.
- Inefficient waste streams causing unnecessary costs.
- Insufficient control over processing, lacking transparency.
With Eurowaste's 12-step process, we ensure that waste management not only meets all legal requirements, but also contributes to a circular economy.
Step 1-7: The preparation phase
The first seven steps lay the foundation for a successful waste management process. Good preparation ensures that waste streams are correctly analysed, procedures are correctly set up and all legal authorities are informed.
1. Evaluation of processors and transporters
At the start of each project, we carefully analyse which waste processors and transporters are most suitable. This is done based on their expertise, capacity and compliance with environmental legislation.
2. Proposal and project design
We prepare a detailed proposal tailored to the customer's specific needs. This includes an analysis of the type of waste, the best treatment method and a logistics plan.
3. Customer evaluation
To ensure that everything goes according to the rules, we carry out a thorough evaluation of the customer. This involves looking at their current waste management processes and possible optimisations.
4. Starting up the EVAO procedure
The EVAO (Waste and Follow-up Evaluation) procedure is launched to put the administrative and legal side of waste management in order.
5. Follow-up with various authorities
We ensure that all competent authorities are informed and that the required documentation is submitted correctly.
6. Evaluation of the dossier by the authorities
The authorities review the file to check that everything complies with environmental rules and regulations.
7. Final agreement
Once all parties have given their approval, the process can officially start.
Step 8-12: The implementation phase
Once all preparations are complete, the actual implementation of waste management begins. This means waste streams are planned, processed and documented to the highest standards.
8. Planning the customer process
Together with the customer, we draw up a schedule showing when and how the waste will be collected and processed.
9. Allocation of shipments
We ensure that the right transporters pick up the waste at the right time and take it to the approved processors.
10. Document management
Transparency is crucial in waste management. That is why we accurately record every step so that customers always have insight into the status of their waste streams.
11. Verification of conformity
A final check takes place before processing to ensure that the waste is correctly sorted and classified.
12. Feedback to customer and authorities
Finally, we report to the customer and competent authorities on the treatment of waste. This ensures full transparency and regulatory compliance.
