What LinsRecycling does

Lins Recycling GmbH & Co. KG is a Mannheim-headquartered, privately held German waste management and recycling company serving property managers, real estate owners, and commercial businesses nationwide. Founded in 2004 and operating as a limited partnership (GmbH & Co. KG) under managing directors Mark Lins, Karlo Schwöbel, and Carl Berlo, the company combines physical waste collection and disposal services — commercial waste, paper, food waste, container rentals, and GDPR-compliant document destruction — with a proprietary cloud-based ESG data management platform called LINS EASy that centralizes private and municipal waste data into a single reporting dashboard. According to company materials, it serves over 3,500 properties and 3,000+ companies across Germany, and holds Entsorgungsfachbetrieb certification through 2027.

The company's product architecture links traditional waste logistics with a SaaS-style data layer. LINS EASy consolidates disposal data from across property portfolios, computes CO2-equivalents using a methodology validated by the IFEU-Institut Heidelberg, and pushes outputs into major German ESG reporting platforms via automated feeds. A stated differentiator versus competitors is the inclusion of municipal waste data alongside private disposal data, which broadens the scope of the ESG footprint that property managers can report on. The company is also a founding member and ongoing supporter of the ECORE Initiative, with management seated on its advisory board, reinforcing its positioning as a sector-specific ESG-disposal specialist.

Commercially, Lins operates a sales-led B2B model with no published pricing; engagements begin with free consultations and proceed via direct website/phone inquiries, inside sales, and field sales visits for on-site disposal planning. Revenue is generated across three streams: transaction-based waste collection and disposal fees, managed ESG reporting services bundled with disposal engagements at no additional charge, and professional ESG consulting for developers and owners. Pricing is custom-quoted based on waste volume, service frequency, and property requirements, and there are no intermediaries — services are delivered directly by the company's own nationwide operations team.
