WASTE MANAGEMENT IS CRITICAL IN BUILDING A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE

We transform waste into resources

Geocycle is an environmental services provider integrated into Holcim Romania's operations.

With over a decade of experience, we tackle the waste challenge in Romania. By providing responsible, sustainable solutions, we contribute to a cleaner environment. We work with our stakeholders in local communities to advance a zero-waste future and ensure a brighter tomorrow.

In Alesd and Campulung we offer pre-processing and co-processing solutions which prevent residues and reduce the need for landfills.These solutions free up valuable land for more profitable human use and also prevent pollutants from contaminating soil and groundwater.

Driven by our commitment to our customers and society, we are dedicated to achieving a future without waste. Our approach is defined by persistently seeking the most cost-effective and sustainable solutions for waste minimization and repurposing.

Our services and served streams

Geocycle proposes a wide range of waste management services, starting from assessment and consultation, laboratory analysis and waste characterization, logistics, transportation and finally waste preparation for co-processing in cement plants. We are the exclusive partner of the Holcim, one of the leading manufacturers of cement, concrete and aggregates that handles the co-processing of waste in the cement production process. We treat:

Solid waste

In Romania, Geocycle owns two stations of pre-solid waste treatment. The stations are built and designed to handle solid wastes that were derived from industrial sources or from municipal waste sorting, including packaging waste paper, plastic or wood.

Sludges

We provide co-processing of petroleum and sewage sludges in these waste in our cement kilns: Campulung and Alesd. The innovative methods of direct pumping allow us to treat thousands of tons of sewage sludge each year.

Used tires

Every year we send toward co-processing thousands of tons of waste tires. Geocycle directs the tires to cement plants, which are equipped with Holcim storage equipment, automatized alimentation and co-processing and ensures logistic services for waste transportation.

Our process

Treating waste is a demanding, complex, costly and time consuming challenge for companies and municipalities. Geocycle offers waste treatment solutions based on a unique industrial process called coprocessing, which ensures simultaneous recycling and recovery of waste.

This industrial application of the circular economy principles commits to the European and international stringent standards and offers one of the best environmental performance.
