The Best Circular Economy Solution 2023
Category: product implemented. A highly effective technology for recovering raw materials and materials for secondary use from municipal waste.
Judgement across industries
The group's value does not rest on a single specialisation but on the ability to bring together knowledge from different industries and convert it into a structure that works. An energy specialist knows what is technically possible; the group knows what can be agreed.
Sector focus
Business Consulting & Services
Strategic advisory, transaction structuring, crisis and mediation support. The emphasis is on obstacles that have not yet become disputes.
Real Estate
Ownership, administration and development of real property — from holding and letting through to preparing and delivering projects.
Defense & Security
Advisory and project support in an environment with the highest demands on trust, vetting and the handling of information.
Information Technology
Software, automated data processing, digital and domain assets. Historically the group's first field of work.
Environmental Services
Waste management and recovery technologies — from preparing the scheme, through permitting, to the operating phase.
Renewable Energy
Renewable sources and energy projects, including their capital and partnership structuring.
Mechanical & Electrical Engineering
Mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and industrial automation — the technical grounding the group comes from.
Research & Development
Technology development and applied research, carried out within project platforms rather than offered as a service in its own right.
Where the group is strong
Ten areas that, in practice, turn up together. A brief rarely arrives inside one of them — it arrives where they intersect.
From brief to structure
The sequence is the same whatever the industry. The content changes; the discipline does not.
01
Analysis and strategic foresight
Assessment of the plan, the environment, the risks and what can realistically be delivered. Before anything is structured, it must be clear whether it makes sense — and if it does not, that is a finding worth saying out loud.
02
Structuring
Design of the special-purpose vehicle, the capital structure and the circle of partners. Definition of roles, responsibilities, rules of communication and a mechanism for the event of disagreement. Most later trouble comes from what was left unagreed at this stage.
03
Delivery and management
Leading the project, coordinating partners and institutions, and clearing obstacles as they arise, before they become problems. The group stays in a project as long as its presence is needed — and no longer.
04
Consolidation
Stabilising the result, transferring it into long-term administration, or a controlled exit from the structure. The exit is planned when the structure is set up, not improvised at the end.
Technologies that close the loop
The environmental part of the portfolio is not a thematic appendix. Waste recovery is an industry where mechanical engineering, energy, permitting and dealings with local government all meet — which is precisely the four things the group can do at once.
The BIOELEKTRA platform carries this part of the portfolio. Individual facilities are held in separate project companies tied to a specific site, which allows each of them to be prepared for the conditions of its own region.
Awards held within the portfolio
The awards below were won by the non-combustion RotoSTERIL technology and by the companies that developed and deploy it — BIOELEKTRA SE and Bioelektra Group. The group co-founded them and holds an equity interest in them.
Innovation Diamonds 2022
Innovation of the year, ecology category. A technological solution contributing to the sustainable development goals with particular emphasis on environmental protection.
Technology of the Year 2022
Nomination. The technology providing the highest material recovery rate from mixed municipal waste in the world.
Eco Pillars 2021
Ecology and innovation. Professional municipal waste processing meeting the strictest carbon dioxide emission standards.
Expo 2020 Dubai
Official participant. The technology was selected among the innovative Slovak solutions presented at the Slovak Pavilion.
Energy Globe National Award Poland 2017
Category: Earth. The Energy Globe Awards are often called the Nobel Prize for environmental protection.
Memberships in professional platforms
The member of both platforms is BIOELEKTRA SE, the portfolio company that develops and deploys the RotoSTERIL technology.
The Circular Slovakia
A public-private platform for the circular economy, established in 2018. It brings together roughly seventy organisations — companies, state institutions, research and educational bodies, associations and municipalities. Member since 2021.
The Circular Economy Club
An international network of circular economy professionals and organisations, spanning more than 280 local clubs in over 140 countries.
The EMEA region
The centre of gravity is Central and Eastern Europe, with links across the wider EMEA region. Linguistic and cultural proximity to these markets is a practical advantage: negotiations run without an interpreter and without losing the nuance.

The group works through its own companies, purpose-built structures and a partner network built up over many years, in the private sphere and in public administration alike. The extent of its activity in any one country changes over time with the nature of the projects and the conditions in that market. In Slovakia, Poland, the Russian Federation and Ukraine the group has built a network of cooperating individuals; its people have been active in these countries for over twenty-five years.
