EMKA S.A. is synonymous with innovation and reliability in the waste management industry. Its extensive logistics system is a key element through which it successfully implements its sustainability efforts. Over the years, EMKA has developed a leadership status, not only in the field of medical waste handling, but also in the area of electromobility and green technologies, which translates into the equally strong potential of its sister company EMKA Oil.
25 years of development in waste logistics
For more than 25 years, EMKA S.A. has been setting standards in waste logistics in Poland. The company specializes in the transportation, collection and disposal of medical waste, using innovative technological solutions. A key success factor is a well-thought-out investment strategy and an extensive fleet adapted to strict safety standards.
With its own thermal waste conversion facilities in Kędzierzyn-Koźle and a state-of-the-art facility in Redzików, the company effectively minimizes waste processing time while recovering energy in the form of heat and electricity. This strategic approach not only improves the quality of services, but also fits in with global efforts to minimize the carbon footprint.
Electric revolution in EMKA's fleet
The introduction of electric vehicles to EMKA S.A.'s fleet is one of the most important steps towards sustainable logistics. In 2024, the first Mercedes-Benz eSprinter joined the Warsaw fleet, and the company is currently intensively developing this segment. A Mercedes eVito has also joined EMKA Oil's fleet, which is ideal for smaller routes and daily customer service.
These state-of-the-art vehicles feature a range of up to 440 kilometers and 113 kWh batteries, allowing them to efficiently serve customers in the city without the need for external chargers. The Mercedes eVito, although smaller, perfectly complements the fleet, providing flexibility in operations and even more efficient logistics.
White vehicles with a distinctive red logo cruise the streets of Warsaw every day, serving hospitals, clinics, dental offices and tattoo parlors. The electric fleet means not only lower operating costs, but also a significant reduction in CO2 emissions, which fits perfectly with EMKA's sustainability strategy.
Benefits for drivers and the environment
EMKA Oil's fleet drivers especially appreciate the electric vehicles for their comfort. The quiet drive reduces fatigue during long hours of work, and the recuperation system allows energy to be recovered during braking, further extending the life of the vehicle.
Thanks to the electric drive, drivers can use bus lanes, which significantly reduces route completion times in urban traffic. Positive feedback from employees shows that green solutions not only protect the environment, but also raise the standard of work.
UCOllectors - the future of the UCO collection
The UCOllectors project is further proof of EMKA Oil's innovation, this system enables the collection of used cooking oil (UCO), which can then be recycled. Electric vehicles, such as the Mercedes-Benz eVito, play a key role in operating this project.
With the Oil Makers installed in the Opole province and other regions of Poland, EMKA is contributing to the protection of water resources and the reduction of ecological damage. The project has already won recognition among local communities, becoming an inspiration for other companies in the industry.
New horizons of electromobility
EMKA's electromobility development plans include both further investment in electric vehicles and the development of charging infrastructure. The deployment of a 180 kWh charger will provide greater operational flexibility and allow fast charging of vehicles on the road. Cooperation with trusted partners, such as EWT Automotive, will enable the smooth implementation of further solutions.
- Electromobility is the future, and we want to be part of it," stresses Karol Lazarczyk, fleet manager of EMKA S.A. The company is committed to innovations that benefit not only customers, but also the entire environment.
EMKA - a leader with a mission
EMKA is a company that continues to prove that industry leadership can be combined with environmental responsibility. With its investments in electromobility, the development of projects such as Oilmats and its innovative approach to waste logistics, EMKA is redefining standards in its industry.
For both customers and communities, EMKA stands for commitment and a long-term vision built on a foundation of sustainability.
