Hellenic Waste Recycling

What Hellenic Waste Recycling does

Hellenic Waste Recycling S.A. is a Greek waste management and recycling company headquartered in Áno Liósia, Attica, operating nationwide for over 20 years since its founding in 2004. The company provides waste collection, transport, sorting, baling, and marketing services to municipalities and public organizations, industrial and commercial enterprises, and construction and technical companies across Greece. Operations are delivered through a self-owned asset base that includes 2,000+ containers (open-top, closed-top, and press containers ranging from 10m³ to 32m³), 1,000+ bins, specialized collection vehicles, and a 40,000m² facility footprint, with cumulative throughput of 300,000+ tonnes and a 70%+ material recycling rate.

The company's offering spans three revenue streams: waste collection and management services, container and equipment rental, and scrap metal trading and processing supplied to Greek steel industries. Pricing is quote-based, varying by container type, service scope, weight, and handling requirements. The technical foundation is centered on physical waste-handling infrastructure — compaction systems, balers, and collection fleets — augmented by international technology partnerships that introduce pioneering collection, compression, transport, and recycling systems to the Greek market for the first time. The company maintains ISO/ELOT certifications across quality, environment, occupational health and safety, and road safety management, is GDPR compliant, and operates as a licensed waste handler under Greek and EU regulatory frameworks.

Hellenic Waste Recycling's go-to-market is B2B-direct, with no disclosed channel partners, resellers, or self-service digital surface. Customer relationships are contract-based across three segments — public-sector, industrial/commercial, and construction — with no named anchor customers or revenue concentration disclosed. Technology transfer from international partners is positioned as a core differentiator, and the company markets a circular-economy narrative (high recycling rate, full material recovery) alongside its service catalogue. No AI/ML, software platform, or data-product revenue lines are evident in the input data.
