We provide a service to collect anything recyclable from plastic to used paper, glass and more from our private and corporate clients. This way we cover the last mile of waste management: From the door step to the container or recycling centre.<\/p><p><em>How we do it?<\/em> <em>In a way, that corresponds with our values:<\/em> climate-friendly with our cargo-bikes. Socially responsible with employees who face huge changes on the job market due to various kinds of handicaps.<\/p><p>Recycling itself is quite a hot topic.

I spent time abroad, worked in a consulting company in the U.S. for six years. Looking back, it has been crucial to get know the business world this way. Working hierarchies, contract negotiations and so on\u2026 But my personal life looked quite different: I continued to stand up for animal welfare and environmental conservation, helped to organize demonstrations.
