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.

Waste & Value

Conserving resources & reducing waste.

Residual metals

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.

Residual minerals

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

Technology

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.

Products

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!
