The world of Münzer

Girl – dandelion

One name.
One family.
One company.

We see ourselves as pioneers in the cascaded utilisation of waste and residue materials by processing them into renewable energy.

It is our declared aim to drive forward the decarbonisation of the transport sector, and to establish the foundations for the sustainable long-term management of available resources.

Tradition and vision

What began with one truck and one employee is now an international company. Since our founding in 1991, we have been focussed on the disposal and recycling of liquid waste. We have never lost sight of that focus, or of our roots. Because that is what gives us the certainty that our sustainable business philosophy is the right one.

We take responsibility for the environment, and for the well-being of future generations. We are expanding our horizons, as well as our range of products and services. We collect and recycle used cooking oil wherever it occurs. We produce waste-based BioDiesel for sustainable mobility. We offer technical cleaning solutions for everything from central heating boilers to industrial plants.

This is our chosen path, and we are pursuing it together.
