Sustainability at WTR
At WAFA Trading & Recycling GmbH, we see sustainability not as a trend, but as a responsibility. Every step we take — from recycling to transport to customer consulting — follows one clear objective: conserving resources, reducing emissions, and creating real value.

Sustainability is the central guiding principle of our company and shapes our daily actions with purpose and positive energy.
A key component is the use of our baling press: by compressing production waste, we significantly increase the loading volume per truck, avoiding unnecessary transport trips. This reduces fuel consumption and lowers CO₂ emissions — measurably and effectively. In this way, we combine efficiency with responsibility and contribute to a functioning circular economy. In addition, we rely on precise sorting processes in which materials are carefully separated and cleaned. This ensures that valuable materials are prepared in suitable form for further processing — as a solid basis for new end products. By doing so, we return materials to the recycling loop and create sustainable solutions for a resource-efficient future.
At WTR, over 97% of all collected materials flow back into the value cycle.
Instead of incineration, we rely consistently on reuse turning waste into usable resources and actively conserving natural raw materials.

To illustrate: in 2024, around 1,989,000 trees would have been required to absorb the same amount of CO₂.
Through our sustainability strategy and company‒specific recycling processes, we prevented this CO₂ from entering the environment emissions that would otherwise have been released through incineration.

Recycling at WTR — The Resource Cycle
01
01 — Waste generation at the industrial customer.
In manufacturing or processing plants, waste such as aluminium remnants, plastic offcuts, or paper rejects is generated.
🔧 WTR provides: Consulting & development of an individual disposal concept including container provision and logistics planning.
02
02 — Collection & pickup of valuable materials
Collected waste is picked up by WTR or delivered directly efficient, timely, and fully documented.
🚛 WTR provides: Flexible transport solutions (own logistics partners), such as truck pickup or container placement.

03
03 — Sorting & processing
Materials are sorted, pressed, or processed at WTR e.g., using the company’s own baling press. ⚙️ WTR provides: Mechanical treatment (pressing, separation of composite materials), storage according to quality grades.
04
04 — Return into industry
Processed materials re‒enter the economic cycle as secondary raw materials for the production of new goods.
📦 WTR provides: Sales to processors in the packaging, automotive, or paper industry nationally and internationally.

05
05 — Sustainability reporting & CO₂ balance
Recycling instead of incineration results in measurable emission savings documented and evaluated annually. 📊 WTR provides: Preparation of mass balances, emission reports & consulting for environmental communication.
