What Noex does
NOEX AG is a German e-waste recycling company founded in 1990 and headquartered in Grevenbroich, operating as a subsidiary of Entsorgungsgesellschaft Niederrhein (EGN). The company specializes in the environmentally compliant collection, transport, processing, and material recovery of electrical and electronic equipment under the European WEEE Directive, the German ElektroG, and the BattG. Through its certified disassembly center in Grevenbroich (designated an Erstbehandlungsanlage under §21 ElektroG) and a network of partner facilities across Germany, NOEX processes approximately 70,000 tonnes of electrical waste annually, serving more than 1,400 businesses, municipalities, and public institutions via 2,000+ collection points and over 1,900 collection orders per month.
The company's core service offering is structured around four pillars: collection and transportation of e-waste from a nationwide network of collection points; processing and recycling at the Grevenbroich facility and partner locations into recovered raw materials; compliance management consulting for WEEE, ElektroG, and BattG obligations; and monitoring with material flow data reporting and customer-specific statistics. Differentiating infrastructure includes the certified 40,000 sqm dismantling center and a planned new refrigerator recycling plant featuring waste heat recovery, energy-efficient equipment, and solar power supply. The company holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, EN 50625 / WEEELABEX, and Entsorgungsfachbetrieb certifications, which collectively form a regulatory barrier to entry.
NOEX operates a direct B2B professional services model, with pricing negotiated on a quote basis through dedicated sales (Vertrieb) and logistics teams rather than publicly disclosed. Revenue streams derive from per-tonne processing fees, collection and transport services, and compliance consulting, with all operations conducted under the German regulatory framework. The customer base is horizontally distributed across industries with statutory e-waste obligations, providing low concentration risk. Geographic reach spans Germany and Europe, with the parent EGN providing strategic and operational support as part of an integrated regional environmental services group.
