About Us
Preserving nature by sustainable management.
Kaepos is ancient Greek for garden – a piece of nature that people look after, nurture and care for. And Kaepos is the name of the school of the philosopher Epicurus, who condemned waste and recommended frugality as a prerequisite for a good life.
Kaepos Raw Material Services carries both aspects inseparably in its name. People should take care of nature and, to this end, use resources frugally, i.e. efficiently and sustainably.




Solutions
Tailor-made solutions for a sustainable future.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
This is what it's all about: reducing consumption, avoiding waste and using reasonable recycling processes.

Green Thinking
Our thoughts and actions are geared towards promoting the efficient use and recycling of residual metals and minerals.

Save the Planet
As a partner of Horn & Co. Group and Mireco , we want to inspire the manufacturing industry with economically and ecologically reasonable solutions – towards greater sustainability and persistent profitability.
Consulting
We carefully analyze the individual needs of our customers and look for reasonable, tailor-made solutions - always keeping an eye on the total cost of ownership.
Waste & Value
Conserving resources & reducing waste.

Waste & Value
The steel industry alone produces hundreds of thousands of tons of residual metals every year, most of which are either used inefficiently or even disposed of as waste, i.e. landfilled. Our partner Horn & Co. Group has learned in more than 100 years of company history to minimize precisely this and has thus become world market leader in the recycling of industrial materials. Talk to us!

Waste & Value
Valuable mineral residues, including those from refractory breakouts, are still being sent to landfill as waste instead of being efficiently recycled. Mireco, in collaboration with RHI Magnesita, has been demonstrating how efficiently this can work since 2022: Cero Waste

Waste & Value
From sorting and crushing to screening and briquetting through to state-of-the-art laser-based sorting technology (LIBS) - we do what makes sense. Everything else we let be.

Waste & Value
Resource efficiency leads to more environmentally friendly products with a reduced C02 footprint. One ton of steel industry slag conditioner from natural deposits has a C02 footprint of 1.8 tons - the same material, recycled by Mireco, comes with a C02 footprint of only 50 kg. Let us close the cycle!
Our PARTNERS
Partners & customers trust in our work.
