Company presentation
As specialist disposal company the Envio Group is granted the authorisation to dispose of any types of waste and thereby determines the best and most economic way of disposing of any type of hazardous waste. For disposing and recycling electrical appliances containing PCB, the key competence of the group, the LTR2 technology (Low temperature rinsing and re-use/recovery), which we developed ourselves, one of the most progressive and safest procedures throughout the world is used. With this technology more than 15,000 transformers have already been decontaminated and reclassified for further use as well as further 15,000 transformers containing high levels of PCB have been decontaminated and dismantled. The materials of the transformers, which are not reused, are almost entirely extracted as secondary raw materials. Thereby the Envio group supports the closing of the cycle of limited resources. In addition experienced specialists and project leaders of the company provide competent advisory services in the environmental sector.
Envio – Key position in the material cycle economy
The holistic approach of the group can result in enormous cost savings or due to innovative solutions may significantly increase the scope of limited resources, which are available for the disposal of PCB waste. The project costs can be amortised within a few years.
Thus the Envio group plays its role in
- decontaminating and making available for reuse a significant part of the PCB transformers,
- replacing those appliances, which are technologically no longer suitable for further use, with replacement appliances,
- maintaining the productive capacity of the new equipment for the entire durability with suitable maintenance measures,
- ensuring with the help of modern electricity systems that developing and newly industrialising countries keep their connection with the global economy and
- in maintaining or improving the quality of life for humans of a country because of its clean environment.
The worldwide net of partnerships with local disposal companies guarantees that Envio's customers may be cared for on site in nearly every country of the world. From the acquisition of national and international authorisations, the hazardous materials transport of the PCB equipment by land and by water, the delivery of new equipment to the "ready-for-use" exchange of old appliances (including disposal) the Envio group takes full responsibility for the project processing; from the customer location to the safe and environmentally compatible disposal in the company's own utilisation plant in Dortmund. The positive feedback from national and international principals and the good, above-average financial figures confirm the company's concept of a comprehensive environmental service. Thereby the turnovers and results could be increased continually over the past years; the prospects for the future are also to be rated extremely positively.
