Circular assistant

Get the know-how of a corporate ecologist for a fraction of the price of an in-house employee.

Does your company not have its own sustainability and legislation expert? The Circular Assistant

service from WASTen Star Holding B.V. is a simple, fast and low-cost solution for small and medium-

sized enterprises (SMEs). With a flexible monthly subscription, you get 100% legal certainty, access to

subsidies and the opportunity to turn waste into a new source of income.

Choose the level of support for your company

Choose the package that best suits the size and needs of your production.

Level 1: Circular Monitoring and Legislation

Ideal for small manufacturing companies that want peace of mind before inspections and do not

want to lose subsidy money.

• Circular Express Scan: An assisted 15-minute interview that immediately reveals the

technological potential, subsidy opportunities and legislative risks of your company.

• Subsidy watchdog: Monthly overview of open calls (OP TAK, Ministry of the Environment,

regional subsidies) filtered precisely for your field. You will not lose millions in funds.

• Legislative watchdog: Notification of changes in waste management and European standards

(PPWR, digital product passports, waste records). We protect you from penalties due to

ignorance.

• Quarterly quick screening: One-page report on the development of the company's circularity

(amount of waste, raw materials, new processes). It will serve as a great proof of

sustainability for banks or large customers.

This level brings peace of mind, time savings and financial opportunities to small companies without

their own experts.

• Instant detection of risks and money: Thanks to Express Scan, a company finds out within 15

minutes where it is at risk of fines and where, on the contrary, it can receive subsidies.

• Financial support without work: The subsidy watchdog filters dozens of calls and serves the

company only those subsidies that are relevant for plastics or metals. The company does not

lose millions in funds.

• One hundred percent legal certainty: The legislative watchdog monitors complex and

changing laws (waste, PPWR, digital product passports) for them. Owners can sleep

peacefully because they do not risk sanctions due to ignorance.

• Accessible expertise for a fraction of the price: The company gains the know-how of an ESG

manager and an ecologist for a price that is many times lower than the salary of an internal

employee or an external consultant full-time.

• Clear reporting for banks and partners: Quarterly screening gives the company clear, one-

page evidence of how it is improving in sustainability. This is useful when applying for loans

or during audits by large customers.

Level 2: Circular Hotline & Material Marketplace

For companies that want to actively save on materials, sell their waste and have an expert on the

phone all the time.

• Everything from Level 1 + the following premium services.
• Personal on-site audit: With a 12-month commitment, our expert will visit your production

in person and reveal hidden places where you are wasting materials or energy unnecessarily.

• Guaranteed Hotline (5 hours per month): Immediate assistance via phone or Teams. We will

solve questions like: "We have a new type of plastic trimming, what waste code does it fall

under?"

• Assistance Helpdesk (E-mail): Possibility to ask up to 2 complex legislative questions per

month with a guaranteed answer within 3 business days.

• Closed Material Marketplace: We will connect you with other clients in the network. We will

help you sell waste (e.g. shavings, cuttings) as secondary raw materials and buy cheaper

clean materials directly without intermediaries.

• Innovation Radar: Regular supply of technological innovations and experience from abroad

to modernize your production before the competition does.

This level moves the client from mere monitoring to direct savings, waste sales and immediate

help on the phone.

• Immediate problem solving (Peace on the phone): When there is uncertainty in production

(e.g. where to place a new plastic cutting), the company does not have to spend hours

browsing through laws. It calls the Hotline and gets an immediate, guaranteed answer from

an expert.

• Turning waste into additional income: Thanks to the Material Market, companies can sell

their waste (shavings, cuttings) as secondary raw materials to other members of the

network. The cost of waste disposal becomes a new source of income.

• Cheaper input materials: In the same marketplace, companies can buy clean secondary

materials directly and cheaper than primary raw materials from the market.

• On-site audit: A personal visit as part of an annual commitment allows the expert to see the

reality of the operation. This will reveal hidden places where the company is wasting

materials or energy unnecessarily.

• A head start over the competition: The innovation radar brings technological innovations

from abroad. This allows the company to modernize production before its competitors and

reduce its production costs.

Circular solutions for companies

Circular audit

The circular economy is becoming an important part of raw-material security in Europe. Is it possible to measure how circular a manufacturing company is? The answer is provided by the Circular Audit, whose methodology was prepared by the Ministry of Industry and Trade.

What benefits the circular audit can bring you:

You will find out the current state of your company in the field of circular economy
You can save considerable funds through efficient use of your waste
Replacing input raw materials with secondary raw materials will help increase raw-material independence and thus also security
You will obtain data on potential savings in the company and on the carbon footprint of products
The result of the circular audit will help you in communication with large corporations that already have set circularity and ESG targets for their suppliers

Consultancy – support from the OP TAK programme for the preparation of a circular audit

The Ministry of Industry and Trade has also prepared the Consultancy grant programme, which supports the preparation of circular audits for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The support rate is max. 50% of eligible expenses
Maximum eligible project expenses are CZK 500,000
Applications for support can be submitted until 1 December 2025

We will help you prepare a successful application for support and the subsequent preparation of the circular audit.

ESG and sustainability

The obligation of ESG reporting, according to current legislation, applies to large companies with more than 250 employees. The obligation to submit an ESG report has been postponed, and currently an increase of the threshold for mandatory disclosure to 1,000 employees is being considered. However, the obligation for banks to present the sustainability and ESG status of their portfolio remains. Large companies are required to request ESG reports from their suppliers so that they can meet their legislative obligations. For this reason, large companies prefer suppliers who have prepared ESG reports.

We offer companies services in the preparation of ESG reports in accordance with EFRAG standards:

Analysis of the current state of the company
Collection of necessary data
Preparation of the ESG report

Service benefits:

Meeting the requirements of current clients from among large enterprises
ESG opens new business opportunities
Meeting the requirements of the financing bank
Increasing attractiveness for banks

Material / Waste scan

Nowadays, the efficiency of material flows in a company is becoming key in business. WASTen Star Holding offers the preparation of a material scan that evaluates the efficiency of material use in the company, waste utilization, and the use of secondary raw materials.

Companies are still not fully aware of the hidden reserves that lie in waste. According to our experience, it is possible through thorough analysis of material flows and appropriate use of waste to save up to 15% of annual costs. In some cases, it is sufficient to review existing contracts for waste utilization; in other cases, revenues may arise from the sale of a company's own recycled materials or from the use of secondary raw materials.

Design of optimal technical solutions and suitable technologies

The design of optimization of the technological solution for circularity in a company and waste management focuses on more efficient handling of raw materials, better waste utilization, minimizing its production, and maximizing the recycling rate. When designing technological solutions, we use the extensive experience of our experts from projects implemented in Europe and the creative abilities of research staff from cooperating universities. WASTen Star Holding B.V. has created a Catalogue of Modern Circular Technologies, from which it draws when designing suitable and efficient technologies.

Creation of a new business model – sustainable and efficient

Implementation of the circular economy in a company is possible in various ways. One of these options is the creation and implementation of a new business model that will allow the company to increase its revenues and at the same time reduce the environmental impact of production. Experts from WASTen Star Holding have participated in the implementation of many successful circular business models in practice and can offer their experience to you as well.

Circular solutions for towns and municipalities

Analysis of the waste management of a town/municipality

We will carry out an analysis of the current state of waste management in your town. Based on thorough analysis, we will propose an optimal solution that will meet your needs and requirements. The analysis will reveal the potential of your waste management. We will present several options and agree together on an optimal procedure.

Proposal for optimization of the waste management system for a town/municipality

Based on the initial analysis of waste management in your town, we will prepare a proposal for optimizing the waste management system. The proposal will include a technological solution design, an economic analysis, and compliance with legislative conditions.

Design of optimal technical solutions and suitable technologies

The design of optimization of technological solutions for waste management in municipalities focuses on more efficient waste utilization, maximizing waste separation, and maximizing the recycling rate. When designing technological solutions, we use the extensive experience of our experts from projects implemented in Europe and the creative skills of research staff from cooperating universities. WASTen Star Holding B.V. has created a Catalogue of Modern Circular Technologies, from which it draws when designing suitable and efficient technologies.

Circular scan of a town

The circular scan of a town is an analysis that examines how a town or municipality manages resources, including waste, water, construction, the local economy, and other areas. The aim is to identify strengths and weaknesses, propose measures for more efficient resource use, cost reduction, and increased stability of the town or municipality. The output of the circular scan is a set of recommendations of specific measures that should lead to an improvement of the circular economy.

Financing of circular solutions
