About Us
Beginning with the development of the first generation of our lamp-recycling method “system herborn” between 1985 and 1988 and the launch of the first system in 1988, we have used “system herborn” to process safely and efficiently million of lamps containing mercury in Germany, Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxemburg, France, Switzerland, Ukraine, Russia, Korea, China, USA and Brazil. During this period we have become one of the leading providers in this sector – on a national as well as international scale.
The resulting experience as well as the continuous further development and improvement of our method by our engineers have led to the creation of the most progressive, economical and environmentally friendly technology in the field of lamp recycling.
Our Philosophy
The construction, manufacturing and maintenance of our patented system technology by ourselves enable us to respond in a flexible way to nearly all customer wishes.
The experience we gain from the application and maintenance of our recycling systems is thoroughly applied in the further development of our systems. In this way we ensure constant state-of-the-art technology and guarantee safe, economical and high-grade recycling.
In order to demonstrate our high quality standards, our enterprise and our recycling method are subject to regular certifications by independent evaluators. Many of the developments in the field of lamp recycling were and are still fundamental for the process of lamp recycling and have been internationally protected by Herborn by patents.
Herborn GmbH is therefore already well prepared for meeting the current and future ecological targets of the EU directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).
