Innovation and sustainability are the two core themes of our family company.

Sustainable not only in recycling, but also sustainable in business.

• We develop individual and flexible concepts.
• We dispose of waste reliably and cleanly using modern special vehicles and a wide range of container types.
• We ensure environmentally friendly disposal through a modern and low-emission transport fleet.
• Together with powerful and reputable partners, we find a solution for every disposal problem.
• We work with modern equipment and efficient, employee-friendly workflows.
• Our employees are trained regularly and we maintain direct communication. This creates a special understanding of the work processes and requirements of daily operations.

The collected know-how is retained in the company and leads to coordinated solutions for our customers from restaurants, bakeries, butchers, as well as for cities and communities.

Our company founder Willi Lesch already demonstrated innovative strength when he was the first on the market in 1992 to develop a process for the environmentally friendly and chemical-free processing of used cooking oil.

Another novelty in the industry was the LGA award in 1998: We were the first company in the industry to become a certified waste management company for used and cooking oil.

In 2010 the step beyond the German borders succeeds: With the establishment of AFRA Altfettrecycling in Austria GmbH, the disposal is from now on also in Vorarlberg, Tyrol and in the Salzburger Land.

After Heiko Lesch took over the company in 2008, innovation continues: In 2013, the collective containers were completely changed over to the new fat box.

With the new collection containers, a new cleaning system and various changes in the work flow are moving in: The vehicles are set up for the new collection containers and employee-friendly auxiliary systems are installed in production.

Grease disposal will not only be easier, more hygienic and cleaner for drivers and employees in production, but also for customers in the catering industry.

After the 25th anniversary of recycling in 2017, a separate collection, disposal and cleaning system for the collection of used cooking oil in households will be established in 2018: The pilot project “Every drop counts” is supported by the SME Association of Waste-Based Fuels MVaK and the German Federal Environmental Foundation DBU .

After the successful completion of the pilot project, “Every Drop Counts” will be outsourced to a separate company in 2020. A new system for cleaning the 1.2l collection containers will be installed. Currently over 615,000 citizens in the following districts and municipalities are already integrated into our collection system: the districts of Roth and Hohenlohe as well as the cities of Fürth, Erlangen and Weißenburg across the board. Pilot collections in numerous other districts and cities can be found on our homepage: https://jedertropfenzaehlt.de/standorte/

The year 2019 will be marked by the move: The administration is moving from the old, too small office space to a state-of-the-art, climate-neutral office complex made from sustainable building materials. At the same time, space will be created on the new premises for the meanwhile 35 trucks with which around 25,000 customers from southern Germany are served.
