Waste Management Solutions

Green Oak Solutions is a Belgravium Technologies / TouchStar Authorised Partner. Green Oak was established in 2004 to provide effective business management solutions for companies impacted by WEEE. The company is headquartered in Scotland with operations in the US and Germany and established customers throughout the UK and Ireland and North America.

Green Oak specializes in providing innovative and practical, environmental software solutions for:

• Managing the end-of-life supply chain
• Organisations impacted by environmental product compliance legislation such as WEEE and RoHS

Their products deliver efficiency improvements and legislative compliance management for a variety of organisations including recyclers, waste management companies, OEMs, CEMs, local authorities, compliance scheme operators and environmental authorities.

The recycling and waste management industry is currently experiencing a period of rapid change and consolidation. Global environmental compliance legislation including WEEE (waste electronic and electrical equipment), RoHS (restriction of hazardous substances) and ELV (end of life vehicles) in the European Union and SB 20 in California place restrictions on the hazardous content of products as well as the need for environmentally safe methods of disposal. The legislation imposes tough reporting and due diligence requirements upon recyclers and manufacturers. Green Oak has developed a set of cost-effective, flexible and scalable products that effectively manage recycling and asset recovery supply chains and automatically provide the required compliance reporting. Real-time reporting, via the use of mobile computing equipment, is an increasingly important additional sub-set of the Green Oak solution and the driving force behind the establishment of a partnership with Belgravium and TouchStar.
