Certification under Section 56 of the German Life-Cycle Resource Management Act and Waste Management Act (Kreislaufwirtschaftsgesetz - KrWG) and German Ordinance on Specialised Waste Management Companies (Entsorgungsfachbetriebeverordnung - EfbV)

You are a waste management company and meet the minimum requirements on a waste management company in terms of organization, equipment and activities as well as on the qualification of management and staff. Then there is no obstacle to a certification as specialised waste management company, confirming a proper waste disposal according to the criteria set out in the German Ordinance on Specialised Waste Management Companies (EntsorgungsfachbetriebeVO).

With a certification as a specialised waste management company, you may use privileges such as:

• no need to obtain a broker licence or transport license
• no need for a preliminary evaluation by the governmental authorities in the waste disposal certification procedure

A certification according to the Commercial Waste Ordinance (GewAbfV), Packaging Law (VerpackG) and Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act (ElektroG) may be part of the certification as specialised waste management company.
