The world of Münzer

Girl – dandelion

One name.
One family.
One company.

We collect and process suitable waste and residue materials, using them as raw materials for the production of renewable energy sources. 

These materials can be processed into renewable energy sources for a range of applications, including the transport sector. We continuously develop our processes and solutions.

Tradition and vision

What began with one truck and one employee has grown into an international company. Since our founding in 1991, we have focused on the disposal and recovery of liquid waste. Despite our growth, we have remained true to our core business and our roots. They continue to shape the way we develop our company today.

Responsible business practices shape our approach and the ongoing development of our services. We collect used cooking oil where it is generated and process it into waste-based BioDiesel. We also provide a wide range of technical cleaning solutions, from heating boilers to industrial plants. 

This is the path we have chosen, and we are committed to moving forward together.


Regional and global

Our customers and partners have been counting on our expertise and reliability for decades. We are aware of our regional roots. They also enable us to flourish on the global stage.

Today, we have an international presence, and are committed to one clear principle: Our processes follow the quality and safety standards applicable to our respective areas of activity. Consequently, the safety of all our employees is always our top priority.
