What ECO-ABC Sp. z o.o. does

ECO-ABC Sp. z o.o. is a Polish hazardous-waste management company founded in May 1992, specializing in the collection, ADR-compliant transport, and thermal treatment (D10 operation code) of medical and veterinary waste across Poland. The company operates four incineration facilities located in Bełchatów (headquarters, established 1995 as Poland's first dedicated medical-waste incinerator), Kraków, Tczew, and Olsztyn — processing approximately 20,000 tonnes of waste annually. It is the only Polish facility built and operated exclusively for medical and veterinary waste disposal, holding an integrated permit (pozwolenie zintegrowane) and BAT-compliant environmental certification, with ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 management system certifications.

The company's technology stack centers on stationary non-rotary grate combustion furnaces, an in-house ADR-compliant vehicle fleet with GPS-based shipment tracking, and a proprietary IT integration with Poland's national BDO (Baza Danych Odpadowych) waste database that allows ECO-ABC to issue electronic Waste Transfer Cards on behalf of clients using delegated API credentials. A complementary 3.36 MWel biomass-fired power plant (ECO-ABC Elektrownia) operates in Kraków as a waste-to-energy asset, described as the first project of its kind in Poland. Supporting services include free staff training on waste classification, packaging supply, and advisory on regulatory compliance.

ECO-ABC generates revenue through individually negotiated multi-year service contracts priced on waste volume, collection frequency, and location, sold via a direct enterprise sales model with dedicated account managers. Customers span public and private hospitals, university hospitals, diagnostic laboratories, veterinary clinics, dental and private medical practices, pharmacies, pharmaceutical wholesalers, and cosmetic/tattoo establishments across all regions of Poland. The company is privately held with no parent company or external institutional investors disclosed; its most significant capital event was a 2018 EU grant of 1,055,292 PLN (project value 3,817,674 PLN) under the Łódź Voivodeship Regional Operational Programme for ICT and fleet modernization.
