What Ecodeal does
Ecodeal – Gestão Integral de Resíduos Industriais, S.A. is a privately held Portuguese sociedade anónima (founded 2005, headquartered in Chamusca) that operates the country's CIRVER Ecodeal — the Integrated Center for the Recovery, Valorization and Disposal of Hazardous Waste — inaugurated in June 2008 after a €32 million investment. The company is owned by a consortium led by Spain's FCC, with Quimitécnica – Investimentos e Participações, the Nelson Quintas Group, and the Town Council of Chamusca, and operates under Decreto-Lei 3/2004 with a current TUA 2024 environmental permit.
The core technical platform is the Chamusca CIRVER facility, which comprises eight specialized treatment units — Classification/Triage/Transfer, Soil Decontamination (biopile bioremediation, ~11,400 t/year), Contaminated Packaging Recovery, Organic Waste Treatment (22,000 t/year), Physical-Chemical Treatment (8,600 t/year), Alternative Fuels Preparation, Stabilization (51,550 t/year) and an Industrial Waste Landfill with multi-barrier waterproofing — plus an in-house laboratory for waste characterization. Total licensed capacity is approximately 200,000 tonnes per year; Ecodeal reports treating more than half of Portugal's ~254,000 t/year hazardous-waste generation, with ~141,000 tonnes treated in 2018.
Ecodeal monetizes this infrastructure through custom quote-based B2B service contracts covering end-to-end hazardous and non-hazardous industrial waste management: collection and ADR-compliant transport, packaging and storage, valorization (including alternative-fuel preparation and packaging reuse), treatment across the eight units, landfill disposal, plus project-based soil decontamination, environmental liability management and 24/7 emergency environmental response. Customer segments span industrial waste producers (chemicals, naval, composites, battery recycling, paints/varnishes, polymers, metals, energy), hospital/laboratory waste producers, owners of contaminated sites, and public entities requiring emergency response; named clients include SGL Composites, OMNOVA, Bondalti, Exide Technologies, Lisnave, and the OSCE (Albania). Go-to-market is sales-led via direct enquiry through an online quote portal, supported by content marketing (case studies, ebooks, blog), SEO, LinkedIn, YouTube, industry events and association leadership. No revenue figure is disclosed in the available data.
