Saubermacher was founded by Hans and Margret Roth in 1979 with the aim of contributing every single day to an environment worth living in. Even today, the Roth family is the main owner of the company. As the most sustainable waste disposal company in the world (GRESB rating), we see it as our responsibility – if for nothing less than our joint future. Our vision is Zero Waste. We are highly committed to R&D, digital innovations and partnerships. We support residents, local authorities and companies with environmental protection, sustainable enterprise and needs-based solutions.

Our ‘Zero Waste’ vision is a commitment to real sustainability – it’s not a theory, but established practice. Nowadays, we are able to recover much of the raw and reusable material contained in waste. Our ‘Zero Waste’ vision takes us a step further. Our aim for the future is - in consideration of waste avoidance or re-use – to recycle everything where possible, so that there’s no waste left behind. Zero. Full stop. To achieve that, we give one hundred per cent.

With a constant flow of new ideas and innovations thanks to our in-house R&D and cooperation, we are driving forward waste logistics and recovery and recycling of key raw materials. Key technologies, a first-class team and close cooperation with our customers and partners help us to achieve our aims. Our Zero Waste solutions are tailored to our clients, representing a win-win situation for everyone. For the environment. For people. And for your business.

Climate and environmental protection are very close to our hearts, and we’ve proven that again and again. There are three pillars to what we do, treatment/recycling of waste, environmental protection and environmental advice. With our high recycling rates, we currently prevent about 612,000 tonnes of CO2 per year being released into the atmosphere. This makes Saubermacher not only climate-neutral, but climate-positive, many times over! We also use automatic route optimisation, test alternative drive systems and use 100% eco-electricity. Plus, our sustainability advice helps companies to increase their recycling rates and reduce environmental pollution.
