  • Everything in safe hands

    You are always on the safe side when you work with RECHEM. The hazardous substances that are delivered to us, for example, are kept in storage areas specially designed for high-risk products until they are sent for incineration. We are able to store a variety of hazardous products and substances in line with all valid safety regulations and hazard categories (ADR).

    • Storage of all hazardous materials covered by the storage classes (LGK) 3 & 4

    • Ideal transport links via road, rail & ship

    • Simple loading / unloading systems thanks to our docking sites & loading bays

    • Easy to monitor thanks to our packing & labelling system


    We use shelving, outdoors and block storage systems to store the substances as well as our special high bay warehouse

  • Material flow management from A to Z

    • As is the case with all industries, pharmaceutical companies are also obliged to document exactly how their waste is handled. We can help you meet all your obligations here, providing support in all matters involving material flow management. From the handling of the hazardous waste on site at your premises, to environmentally friendly transport solutions, all the way through to the safe treatment and disposal of the substances, including all documentation. The fact that we are held in such high regard by the pharmaceutical and chemical industry is a sure sign of how well and how professionally we perform our work.

    • We know all about the laws regulating our business and are well aware of what has to be taken into account when transporting hazardous waste across borders and disposing of such substances

    RECHEM has been collaborating with a large number of pharmaceutical and chemical companies for many years now

Everything under control – from start to finish

We work with a special card system – the RAK system – which we developed ourselves. Each waste stream is given its own card and RAK number. This waste card lists the origin of the waste, details about the substance(s), safety data sheets, UN and VeVa numbers and hazard categories as well as its chemical and physical properties. What’s more, the card includes information about suitable transport and treatment/disposal methods and about which containers and batch sizes are needed. All this is managed digitally in our database. Thanks to this system, each individual batch can be identified at all times. Every single step your waste takes is monitored closely. No system could be safer or more transparent.

Professionally managing laboratory & chemical waste

We have developed a special range of services for laboratories and other businesses that produce waste requiring special disposal. These services cover the whole of the waste management chain – ending with the safe and environmentally friendly disposal of all types of chemical in our incineration facilities.
