What Zakład Utylizacji Odpadów Sp. z o.o. does

Zakład Utylizacji Odpadów Sp. z o.o. (ZUO Konin) is a privately-held Polish hazardous and industrial waste management operator headquartered in Konin, Wielkopolskie, founded in December 1997. The company operates a single, vertically integrated facility comprising nine distinct processing installations: a thermal waste processing (incineration) plant, hazardous waste landfills with dedicated asbestos storage, a liquid waste neutralization unit, a stabilization and cementation installation, a mechanical-chemical industrial wastewater treatment plant, an alternative fuel production node, a soil remediation installation for petroleum- and hazardous substance-contaminated soils, and a dedicated ADR-compliant hazardous waste transport fleet. ZUO serves three primary customer segments: industrial enterprises, healthcare facilities (hospitals, clinics), and veterinary practices, providing full-cycle waste management from collection through final disposal or recovery.

The business model is a B2B, sales-led service operation with quote-based pricing tailored to waste type, volume, and treatment requirements. Revenue streams are derived from waste treatment and disposal fees (thermal processing, landfilling, stabilization/cementation, physico-chemical treatment), specialized ADR-compliant collection and transport services, and alternative fuel sales. The company is a subsidiary within the Boryszew S.A. capital group, co-owned with the Wojewódzki Fundusz Ochrony Środowiska i Gospodarki Wodnej w Poznaniu, with PLN 14,340,000 registered share capital. ZUO is ISO 9001 certified, holds a Fair Play Certificate (2019), and is an active member of ZPZTPO, the association of Poland's nine largest thermal waste processing installations. Operations are concentrated in the Wielkopolskie region with stated service reach extending beyond it.
