Atliekų Tvarkymo Centras

What Atliekų Tvarkymo Centras does

Atliekų Tvarkymo Centras (UAB „Atliekų tvarkymo centras", ATC) is a privately held Lithuanian hazardous and non-hazardous waste management operator headquartered in Vilnius at Sandėlių g. 19, founded in 2009 and operating with 101–250 employees. The company runs a national end-to-end waste service: collection from waste-generator sites across all Lithuanian municipalities, transport to its two Vilnius processing facilities (Sandėlių g. 19 for batteries, electronics, and general waste; Riovonių g. 2A for hazardous automotive waste), and in-house recycling via shredding, separation, centrifugation, and material recovery — under a zero-landfill diversion principle where non-recyclables are routed to energy generation.

ATC operates in four core service lines — automotive service waste (oils, filters, tires, batteries, metals, plastics, glass, brake fluids), electronic waste (WEEE categories including temperature-exchange equipment, screens, lamps, large and small EEE), battery and accumulator waste (portable, EV, industrial, automotive), and other hazardous chemical waste — and serves auto-service centers, end-of-life vehicle dismantlers, electronics producers and retailers, industrial hazardous-waste generators, and households. The company is the holder of Lithuanian Ministry of Environment hazardous waste license No. 000490, IPPC permits, ATVR registration REOBJ0014271, EN 50625-1:2014 WEEE certification, and ISO 14001:2015 environmental management certification (issued March 2026). It also handles GPAIS regulatory reporting on behalf of auto-service clients.

ATC monetizes via per-kilogram acceptance and collection fees (EUR/kg, excluding VAT, varying by waste type), per-visit service fees (EUR 40 + VAT in major cities, EUR 80 + VAT elsewhere), surcharges for sorting and downtime, secondary raw-material sales (metals, glass, rubber, oil), and bundled regulatory-compliance services. The company is currently investing in two EU co-funded R&D projects — textile-to-absorbent materials (EUR 409,902.23 budget, July 2025–July 2028) and waste-glass/rubber into concrete and acoustic blocks with UAB Vakarų statyba (EUR 696,878.52 budget, September 2024–March 2027) — and a 490 kW solar installation supported by NextGenerationEU funding, signaling a strategic shift from pure waste-taker toward value-added material production.

Revenue model

1. Waste collection and acceptance fees: ATC charges waste generators (both businesses and individuals) fees for collecting and accepting hazardous and non-hazardous waste at their processing facilities. Fees are charged per kilogram (EUR/kg, excl. VAT) based on waste type and collection location. In some cases, ATC pays waste holders for certain recoverable materials (e.g., ferrous/non-ferrous metals, lead batteries).
2. Waste collection service fees (on-site collection): For on-site waste collection services, ATC charges a per-visit fee (80 EUR + VAT in major city districts, 40 EUR + VAT in Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipėda, Šiauliai, Panevėžys, Utena, Marijampolė) plus per-kilogram fees for sorted waste. Additional charges apply for sorting services and downtime waiting.
3. Recycling and material recovery: Materials recovered from processing (metals, glass, plastics, rubber, oils) are sold as secondary raw materials. ATC pays waste holders for certain materials (e.g., lead batteries at 0.30 EUR/kg, non-ferrous metals).
4. Regulatory compliance services for auto services: ATC provides GPAIS registration, waste accounting, reporting to authorities, and employee training for auto service clients — bundling compliance services with waste collection.
