About Hennemann Umweltservice
Hennemann Umweltservice Elektronik GmbH is an environmental services provider headquartered in Espelkamp that has specialized for more than 35 years in the collection, treatment and recovery of waste electrical and electronic equipment. In its own initial treatment facilities, permitted under federal immission control law, with a facility capacity of 75,000 tonnes per year, waste equipment is pre-sorted, dismantled, decontaminated of hazardous substances and separated into recyclable material fractions using modern shredding plants with downstream separation technology. The recovered metals, plastics and ceramic composites are consistently returned to the recycling loop. Another focus is certified data carrier destruction in accordance with DIN 66399 using hard disk and data carrier shredders as well as optical and magnetic destruction methods. In addition, the company operates scrap metal trading at the WHS site, supplying single-grade scrap qualities to steelworks and foundries, as well as tailor-made disposal concepts with container systems, collection by its own vehicle fleet, employee training and waste balances for manufacturers, retail, administrations, municipalities and commercial businesses. The company belongs to the Drekopf disposal group and is certified as a certified waste management specialist (Entsorgungsfachbetrieb).
