Welcome to The Quality Control Association of Waste and Recycling Containers

(Gütegemeinschaft Abfall- und Wertstoffbehälter e.V.)

The Deputy Chair introduces himself:

Stefan Gowitzke, born in 1983, began his career with an apprenticeship as a wholesale and foreign trade merchant and completed a part-time degree in Business Administration (Diplom-Kaufmann (FH)) at the University of Applied Sciences for Economics and Management in Cologne. Over the course of his career, he has gained extensive management experience – particularly in the areas of sales, marketing and product management.

In addition to his involvement in GGAWB e.V., Stefan Gowitzke is Country Manager for Germany and Austria at SULO Deutschland GmbH. In this role, he is responsible for sales and profitability in both markets and drives targeted expansion of the customer segments and development of the sales organisation. He also develops and implements innovative sales and market strategies to position SULO as a leading provider of waste sorting and collection solutions.

Before joining SULO, Stefan Gowitzke was Sales Director at Stanley Black & Decker. Among other things, he was responsible for market strategy, product launches and expansion in the area of key strategic customers. At VBW Werkzeugfabrik, a company of the STAHLWILLE Group, he was also instrumental in shaping the sales strategy and taking the organisation forward.

In his new role at GGAWB e.V., Stefan Gowitzke wants to position the association so that it is prepared for the future of a rapidly changing sector and provide new impetus for sustainable waste management.

Publication of the revised Quality Assurance for Plastic Containers for Waste and Recycling Materials, RAL-GZ 951/1 after successful completion of the procedure to extend the quality and test specifications with an annex

The quality and safety of waste and recycling containers made of plastic is regulated within the framework of RAL-GZ 951/1 via product standards, dimensions and tolerances, volume specifications, their useful mass and serviceability tests, as well as design specifications.

The Quality Control Association has made it its task not only to increase the quality of these products beyond the legal and normative framework, but also to ensure the quality of company-specific services, social components and aspects relevant to sustainability and the environment.

We are pleased to inform you about the successful completion of the extension procedure for the implementation of an annex to the RAL-GZ 951/1 quality assurance.
