  - Industrial Symbiosis Strategies that connect waste outputs with input needs across industries

  - Zero-waste and Resource Optimization Plans aligned with regulatory and ESG goals

  - Circular Design Advisory for products, buildings, and infrastructure systems

• Our circular economy solutions aren't just about reducing waste, they are about redesigning systems to work smarter, cleaner, and longer.

Waste Valorization

• We help reimagine waste not as a liability, but as a resource, unlocking economic, environmental, and regulatory gains through intelligent recovery, reuse, and reengineering strategies.

• In a region where waste volumes are rising and landfill space is limited, valorization isn’t just a sustainability goal, it is an operational necessity.

• We design circular, sector-specific solutions that extract maximum utility from industrial, municipal, and organic waste streams.

• Our services include:

  - Material and Waste Flow Audits to uncover recovery, reuse, and revenue potential

  - Valorization Pathway Design, including composting, anaerobic digestion, biochar, bioplastics, and thermal treatment

  - Industrial Symbiosis Facilitation, matching one sector’s waste to another’s feedstock

  - Policy and Infrastructure Advisory to support zero-waste targets and extended producer responsibility (EPR) compliance

• Whether it’s food waste, construction debris, sludge, or CO₂, we help you unlock hidden value, reduce costs, and deliver measurable ESG impact through smarter waste solutions.

Sustainable Supply Chain & Procurement

• In today’s regulatory and investor landscape, your supply chain isn’t just an operational function, it is an ESG hotspot.

• From material sourcing to supplier behaviour, companies are under pressure to ensure every tier meets environmental and social expectations.

• At AJEC, we deliver data-driven strategies to decarbonize, de-risk, and align procurement with sustainability and ESG goals, helping you build supply chains that are transparent, low-carbon, and future-ready.
