Your partner for

sustainable recycling logistics & marketing

Knepper WerPro offers you as a company an unparalleled, holistic, legally compliant solution for all by-products and commercial waste. We are a start-up with our innovative recyclables and logistics concept for optimizing material flows in companies in the food industry, the food trade and in companies with a high recyclables flow. The idea was born out of our many years of experience in recycling materials.

Increase sustainability and save money

The optimization of material flows includes your internal and external logistics. There is already enormous potential for savings when looking at machinery, production lines and logistics routes. We advise you holistically and calculate your emission savings in addition to the overall savings through shorter routes, less residual waste and higher recycling rates. This enables you to achieve your sustainability goals in a transparent and legally compliant manner.

We bring your material flows together

Optimization of material flows

We optimize your by-product marketing and recyclable material recycling to make them attractive and lucrative. As experts in by-product and recyclable material marketing, we create an optimal logistics structure so that by-products can be processed into high-quality animal feed and recyclable materials into secondary raw materials and thus better remunerated. And we do this in compliance with all feed and waste legislation. We are certified for this.

By-product marketing against food waste:

From waste to by-product

In addition to the usual recyclable waste, such as cardboard and plastics, food waste from production or food products that cannot be sold for visual reasons, for example, also accumulates in food and food processing companies and craft businesses. Due to a lack of awareness or a sustainable logistics concept, large quantities of by-products end up as waste in a biogas plant or incinerated unnecessarily, thus contributing to food waste. Although some by-products find buyers in agriculture and animal husbandry, the companies selling them often lack the expertise and knowledge to comply with the legal framework. Non-compliance with the hygiene chain in particular results in a high risk for companies. We pursue the holistic approach of marketing the by-products in a safe and high-quality manner and collecting and recycling them with the recyclable materials via an integrated logistics concept in compliance with all legal framework conditions.

Compliance with the legal framework

Knepper WerPro guarantee

The Commercial Waste Ordinance stipulates that recyclable fractions must be collected separately at the producer. This must be documented and the documentation must be kept up to date. Our integrated logistics and recyclables concept meets these requirements and reduces your residual waste to a minimum. According to the Closed Substance Cycle Waste Management Act, the producer is liable until the final disposal of the waste produced. As a certified waste management company, Knepper WerPro offers you the assurance that your waste will be properly recycled. In accordance with feed legislation, by-products are no longer subject to waste legislation and the same standards apply as for foodstuffs. We create an HACCP concept for you, from the conveyor belt to the farmer, so that the entire hygiene chain is properly adhered to.

Check:
Are all legal framework conditions complied with?

We check for you whether the current processes contain all legal framework conditions and solve all weak points for you in our optimization proposal. This will protect your company from all risks arising from the management of your by-products and waste.

Cost savings

The Knepper WerPro optimization delta

Over 100 % total savings (costs become revenue, waste becomes products) speak for themselves. Our consulting services include analyzing the initial situation with regard to material flows and the internal and external logistics process. To do this, we first take a look at your plant plans, waste balances, municipal tax notices and, if applicable, your HACCP. During a plant inspection, we gain a concrete picture of your production process and logistics routes, followed by an assessment of the material flows. This analysis results in our optimization proposal with a comparison of the total costs (actual to optimization).
