ALBA Group – The Recycling Company
Today, there’s a lot more to waste than being garbage. These days, it is an important source for secondary raw materials which are needed in manufacturing new products. The process of collecting, recovering, refining, and marketing of these secondary raw materials is defined as “urban mining”.
The business model of the ALBA Group is based on the following principles: Waste materials serve as valuable recyclables for manufacturing, and at the same time, they do not put a strain on the supply of natural primary resources. As a recycling company, the ALBA Group is both an environmental services company and a supplier of raw materials.
ALBA and Interseroh form the two pillars of the ALBA Group. The differing business endeavours of the two brands complement one another and form a single large entity that enables us to cover the entire chain of recycling and supply that comprise what is known as “urban mining”:
ALBA: Ecological thinking – Economic acting
The owner-operated ALBA group of companies headquartered in Berlin forms one pillar of the ALBA Group. Market-based flexibility, performance standards, and the customer’s interests are fundamentals of the business principles of family-run firms. The core areas of activity are:
- Waste disposal services in the public, private, and commercial sectors
- Marketing of secondary raw materials
- Development and operation of recycling and production plants
- Planning and execution of plant services
Interseroh: Environmental service provider and raw material supplier
INTERSEROH SE, a listed company headquartered in Cologne, is the second pillar of the ALBA Group. The company stands for quality recycling and modern recycling management. Interseroh guarantees the manufacturing industry the provision of valuable secondary raw materials that are traded globally. Interseroh’s chief areas of expertise are:
- Such services as organising the return of packaging and products
- Steel and metal recycling
The ALBA Group: Harmony between economics and ecology
In the future, recycling and waste management will undergo a paradigm shift away from solid waste and towards raw material. Whether by means of recycling packaging or the reclaiming materials from used products, value creation can succeed only if high-value raw materials are produced and placed on the global market using comprehensive organisation and targeted quality management.
Through its activities, ALBA Group creates economically viable substance cycles to provide sustainable alternatives to industry, trade and retail, waste management providers and consumers, thus serving the environment in the process.
