Die Umweltkonsulenten

What Die Umweltkonsulenten does

Die Umweltkonsulenten (legal entity RM Umweltkonsulenten ZT GmbH) is an Austrian environmental consulting firm that has operated since 1999 as a spin-off from Montanuniversität Leoben and now functions as the environmental technology division of the Angst Group conglomerate. The firm delivers professional consulting across twelve practice areas: basic waste characterization, waste management, recycling, construction industry and property development, landfill/incoming-goods inspection, contaminated sites, environmental analysis, emission measurements, approval procedures, baseline reports, research and funding support, and surveying/geoinformation.

The service stack is grounded in technical, scientific, and legal capability rather than software. Proprietary assets include an in-house mobile measurement vehicle for on-site sampling of surface water, groundwater, soil, waste, and air; specialized dioxin/furan measurement equipment; a Web-GIS visualization platform for plant data (2D/3D); and drone-based inspection with automatic image recognition tied to geodetic methods. Accredited inspection body status under the Austrian Waste Depository Ordinance 2008 (ISO 17020) plus appointment as an official supervisory body under the Water Act and managing-partner credentials as generally sworn and court-certified experts across nine environmental fields together underpin authority acceptance.

Commercial model is project-based professional services. Engagements are quoted per scope and complexity, sold direct to enterprise, infrastructure operators (ÖBB, ASFINAG), industrial clients (FunderMax, Knauf AMF, FCC Group), waste management companies (Peter Seppele), retail/agriculture (Spar/Weingut Schloss Fels), municipal services (Gemeindebetriebe Frohnleiten), engineering consultancies (GDP ZT GmbH), courts, and government bodies. Go-to-market is direct B2B field sales through four Austrian offices (Frohnleiten HQ, Vienna, St. Veit a. d. Glan, Wels), with no resellers, distributors, or subscription channels. Marketing relies on a multi-language website, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and earned visibility via professional association memberships (ÖWAV, VÖEB, Austrian Standards Institute, ISWA, ZT-Chamber, Greentech-Cluster).
