history

The marketing of straw as a raw material for the paper industry was the first activity of the company founder Mathias Trienekens in 1923. With the entry into dust-free household waste collection in 1954 he laid the foundation for the work of today's EGN. Initially with a garbage truck , he began to set up a waste disposal company. In 1968 the company was taken over by Hellmut Trienekens . Municipal contracts for collection and transport determined the services of the 1970s, in which landfills for various types of waste and a separate laboratory for environmental and waste analysis were also created. In 1981 the company put the first raw material recovery plant into operation in Neuss. At that time it was the most modern system of its kind in Europe.

In 1989 RWE took a stake in what was then Trienekens Abfall GmbH . In 1995, the company developed and built the first large-scale plant for mechanical-biological residual waste treatment in Düren . During this time Trienekens was involved in several bribery and infidelity scandals in Cologne. In 2002, the almost 80-year-old Trienekens era ended with the complete takeover of Trienekens AG by RWE Umwelt AG . In 2005, SWK Stadtwerke Krefeld acquired the company, which at that time operated under the name of RWE Umwelt West .
