What Mepex Consult does
Mepex Consult AS is a Norwegian specialist consultancy focused on circular economy, waste management, and environmental sustainability. Founded in 1988 (with leadership continuity from 1991) and headquartered in Asker, Norway, the firm serves Norwegian municipalities, government agencies, inter-municipal waste companies, private enterprises, and industry associations across the Nordics. Its core offerings include Plukkanalyser (market-leading waste composition analysis with 350+ studies conducted over the past decade), sorting and recycling facility consulting, circular solutions advisory, material flow analysis, and green procurement guidance. Mepex also develops proprietary digital tools, notably Sikt (a waste data and climate accounting platform following GHG protocol and LCA standards) and Rebyg (a construction and demolition waste documentation platform).
The firm operates as a professional services business with a sales-led go-to-market, winning work through competitive public-sector tenders, direct engagement with private clients, and referrals. Revenue is generated through project-based consulting engagements. Mepex is majority-owned (60%) by AF Gruppen, an Oslo Stock Exchange-listed industrial and environmental services group, with employees holding the remaining 40%, creating a distinctive employee-ownership culture. The firm holds ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications and Achilles pre-qualification for public sector work, and won the Asker Municipality Sustainability Award in 2024. Mepex is led by a team of approximately 25 specialists, with CEO succession from Frode Syversen to Sigurd Sagen Vildåsen (formerly of SINTEF) effective from October 2025, signaling continuity combined with deeper circular economy research integration.
