Managing waste chemicals
Managing waste chemicals with REMONDIS Industrie Service
Managing waste chemicals involves a number of tasks including using environmentally compatible systems to treat and process a whole range of hazardous substances. These may involve solid, semi-solid and dusty specialty chemicals as well as lye and acids. These dangerous substances can be found, for example, in paint sludge, old putty and adhesives, resin powders and activated carbon that may have been stored as loose bulk material or in big bags, drums, IBCs, buckets and ASP containers. What’s more, we also accept gas cylinders and other partially full and empty pressurised containers. We are able to offer you a full range of competent services for storing, transporting, treating and disposing of chemicals – all of which we deliver ourselves. And we not only serve firms operating in the chemicals industry but many other customers as well, such as commercial firms, local authorities, laboratories, industrial companies and universities.
The benefits of our certified chemical waste services
Disposal of hydrogen fluoride
We are the only company across Europe able to dispose of hydrogen fluoride stored in pressurised gas cylinders. At the end of the process, the empty cylinders are sent on to metal recyclers.
Experts for metal organic compounds
We are able to treat metal organic compounds in a glove box in an inert atmosphere.
A wide range of salvage packaging
We have the right storage system for all types of hazardous and non-hazardous waste. Including IBCs and pressurised salvage containers for transporting bins or containers holding up to 1,000 litres.
The highest safety standards
The long retention time in our incineration plant guarantees that phosphides and carbides are also made safe.
Full range of services
We deliver all the services needed – from drawing up all waste management and transport documents, to collecting the materials from our customers’ (including all packaging), to disposing of them correctly.
Silo for powdery waste materials
Using our big bag and drum discharge station, we are able to safely transfer powdery waste materials into a silo made inert with nitrogen.
The systematic way to manage waste chemicals
Our wide-ranging portfolio ensures that you don’t need to worry about your hazardous waste, no matter how dangerous, reactive and/or toxic it may be. We believe it is important to deliver the same high quality at all times and to be flexible so we can master whatever waste management challenge we find ourselves facing. Which makes us the company to turn to when completely new kinds of substances and waste need to be disposed of. What’s more, being part of the REMONDIS Group, we are not only able to dispose of hazardous chemical substances but also to offer recycling solutions for non-hazardous waste.

Bespoke transport services: our logistics for handling chemicals
Safe transport covers all areas – from the customers’ premises all the way through to the treatment plant. And it should ensure that you have as little work as possible and is completed as quickly as possible. Our chemical experts identify, evaluate and sort the materials on site at our customers’ and make sure ADR-compliant packaging is used. Specialist packaging is deployed wherever necessary, for example pressurised salvage containers to transport damaged gas cylinders. The goal of our transport service is to take the waste with us immediately whenever this is possible – including handling the waste declaration forms, drawing up the transport documents and transferring the materials into approved specialist containers.
Material-specific treatment of waste chemicals
Thanks to our chemical-physical treatment facilities, we are always able to process liquid and solid chemicals according to their material composition using environmentally compatible systems. What’s more, we also have gas scrubbers and fixed-bed adsorbers to neutralise the gases. Our goal here is not simply to make these substances safe but to go much further and decontaminate recyclable materials so that they can be reused. Which is why we have, for example, systems dedicated to washing and cleaning storage containers. These enable drums, devices and gas cylinders to be sent on for recycling. Just one example of many of how we live up to the REMONDIS Group’s sustainability mission despite us dealing with so many materials that need to be disposed of.
More than just disposing of materials: we use recyclable chemicals to produce high quality refuse-derived fuels
On the safe side with direct incineration
We operate highly efficient direct incineration systems at our plants for containers that have particularly problematic contents. This ensures that they can be disposed of without the environment or people being put at risk. Our plant has a variety of systems for receiving and accepting waste materials so that all types of containers and their contents can be sent straight on for incineration. These range from hose lines that can be connected to pressurised containers and IBCs all the way through to our special system for small drums containing highly reactive and toxic substances.
Handling gas cylinders safely
Gas cylinders and other pressurised containers pose a very real risk. And the risk becomes even greater if it is not known what the residue or the exact contents of the cylinder are. And so our service begins with carrying out an analysis on site at our customers’ and continues with us collecting and declaring the materials, to transporting and disposing of them. We travel quickly to our customers’ premises equipped with all the specialist containers that may be required and ensure that their materials are taken safely to our treatment plants – no matter whether the gas cylinders contain hydrogen fluoride, butane, propane or some other type of gas.
As per the German Federal Waste Catalogue Ordinance, cylinders containing hazardous gases must be assigned the waste code 160504* and must be transported and treated using specialist systems
