Founded in the 90’s in Barcelona (Spain), the HERA Group is at present an international business group, leader in the field of integrated waste management and environmental resources, with its own facilities in Europe, Latin America and a significant presence in Asia, Canada and the Middle East. For more than two decades, the HERA Group has been steadily providing integral and efficient environmental solutions to government administrations, industry and the private sector. More than 5,000 companies have placed their trust in our services. The HERA Group regards waste not simply as disposable garbage, but as a resource with a high recyclable and recovery potential, which allows us to obtain new materials, energy, space, regenerated feedstock and biofuel. The activities and environmental solutions presented here, are part of HERA Group’s ultimate objective : to transform waste into a new resource.
