Distribution is via a full online shop at areis-entsorgung.de with shopping cart, electronic waste documentation (eANV), and three fulfillment options: customer self-shipment, self-delivery to Wolfschlugen, or paid on-site pickup (€125 flat rate within Germany).

The go-to-market is primarily direct-to-consumer e-commerce, supplemented by phone/email consultation and contact-form inquiries for custom enterprise disposal solutions. The company serves three customer segments: Industry & Trade (primary, including manufacturing and commercial businesses), Medical Practices & Pharmacies (medical and pharmaceutical waste), and Household & Private (special/hazardous household waste). Payment processing is integrated across eight providers (PayPal, Stripe, Klarna, Amazon Pay, Google Pay, Apple Pay, Visa, Mastercard). Geographic operations are domestic Germany-only for delivery; the company is managed by two managing directors, Alexander Ruess and Benjamin Boger, with no disclosed external investors, parent company, or M&A activity.

• Veolia Deutschland: German arm of global Veolia, providing hazardous waste treatment, industrial services, and resource recovery to industrial and municipal clients — overlapping service portfolio with AREIS but operating at national and international scale.
• PreZero (Schwarz Group): Environmental services division of the Schwarz Group (Lidl/Kaufland parent), offering hazardous waste management alongside recycling across Germany and Europe — a large-scale direct competitor for industrial and commercial Sonderabfall contracts.
