About Gemidan A/S

Gemidan is a Danish waste and resource-recovery company focused on turning organic waste and green waste into usable resources. The company serves municipalities, public-sector actors, and private businesses that handle food waste, organic residuals, and garden/park waste, with services spanning pre-treatment, sorting, crushing, baling, and operational outsourcing.

Founded in 1988, Gemidan positions itself as a specialist in circular economy solutions, resource utilization, and operational optimization. Its approach combines a mobile machine fleet, owned treatment sites, and technical advisory services to help customers manage waste more efficiently and recover more value from it.

The company emphasizes flexible, customer-specific solutions that meet environmental requirements while supporting practical day-to-day operations. Across its Danish and Nordic footprint, Gemidan presents itself as a high-service partner for complex waste streams and resource recovery challenges.

• Flexibility: The company highlights adaptable solutions tailored to customer needs, including tolerance for mixed packaging in organic waste streams and mobile equipment that can be configured for different materials and sites.
• Responsibility: Environmental responsibility is central to Gemidan’s positioning, with a focus on compliance, reduced environmental burden, and careful handling of resources, employees, and partners.
