Landbell AG für Rückhol-Systeme – or Landbell Group - is a service provider that carries out take-back and recycling obligations for companies.[2] It supports companies in meeting their extended producer responsibility (EPR) obligations and other product and packaging related requirements.[3] The company operates worldwide through its own network of producer responsibility organisations (PROs). Landbell Group's head office is located in Mainz.[4]

History

[edit]

Landbell AG was founded in September 1995 as a local waste management company in Germany. Its aim was to support companies with their obligation to take back and recycle their sales packaging. It developed its own take-back scheme in a pilot project in cooperation with the Lahn-Dill district.[5][6][7] In August 2003, Landbell was approved as a packaging compliance scheme in the federal state of Hesse.[8] Up to this point, Duales System Deutschland GmbH (DSD) had been the only such option in Germany.[citation needed] In August 2006, Landbell was approved nationwide as a packaging compliance scheme. In 2009, the business started to support companies based abroad with their recycling obligations in Germany.

Expansion

[edit]

In 2014 they merged with European Recycling Platform (ERP) and founded the Landbell Group.[9][10] ERP had been created in 2002 by Hewlett-Packard, Electrolux, Sony and Procter & Gamble in response to the introduction of the European Union's Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive, and the Batteries Directive which was adopted in 2006.[11] Landbell Group expanded its services to include WEEE and batteries in 15 countries.

Since 2014, Landbell Group acquired further companies, including H2 Compliance (in 2016),[12] and holds shares in numerous other companies, including TerraCycle GmbH in the DACH region.[13]

Company structure and memberships

[edit]

Jan Patrick Schulz is CEO of Landbell Group since 1 July 2007.[14][15] Tim Scholz is CFO since 2019.[16] Frank Binder is the main shareholder since the company‘s foundation.[17] The company has been family-owned for over 20 years. Today, the group of companies is represented in 24 locations in 19 countries worldwide and employs around 320 employees from 32 nations.[18] In 2019, the company operated 32 approved take-back schemes for packaging, WEEE or batteries in 14 countries.

In 2019, Landbell Group joined the waste and recycling alliance, Prevent.[19] The alliance was established by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development to promote the expansion of a functioning waste and recycling management system in emerging and developing countries.[20][21]

As an international company, Landbell Group offers solutions[buzzword] for producers and retailers to help them comply with their obligations under global environmental and chemical legislation.[22] This is done through the operation of take-back schemes for packaging, WEEE and batteries, as well as worldwide consulting and compliance services relating to EPR and chemicals legislation.[23]
