Our approximately 500 members are decision-makers from all areas of waste and resource management, industry and commerce, plant and mechanical engineering, engineering, science, public administration, politics and advocacy.

We offer industry association-independent, fact-based information, discussions and statements that often go far beyond dealing with pure waste and recycling issues.

In the sector, the DGAW has long been regarded as an independent point of contact for industry and politics. Our strength lies in the objective, consensual formation of opinion. We do not fight for individual interests, but work responsibly for the future of our industry.

The DGAW offers you a platform for interdisciplinary cooperation with an open exchange of experience.
