GNS - Gesellschaft für nachhaltige Stoffnutzung mbH Utilisation of biomass, residues and wastes
Reduce, reuse, recycle – we write sustainability in capital letters!
We at GNS have specialised in the topics of recycling management, environmental technology and the use of biomass. Our work aims to develop technologies for reducing emissions, recycling waste and recovering valuable materials for our customers.
In our laboratory and pilot plant, we examine the most diverse natural and residual materials of our customers from Germany and abroad. We test all treatment steps in theory and practice and derive new process engineering solutions from them.
Processes and products for sustainable material utilisation – cooperation with partners
From scientific conception and technology development to engineering and project management, we take on the realisation of complex tasks related to the utilisation of biomass, residual materials and waste in cooperation with partner companies. In doing so, we are active throughout Germany as well as Europe.

Investment security Through proven expertise for investors, planners & plant operators
Processes and process combinations often involve great risks for the investor. Comprehensive expertise is essential, especially at the level of process functionality. This is the only way that investments in the millions can generate the desired return. Our team has decades of experience in the field of environmental and process engineering.
We prepare independent expert reports, material and energy balances and supervise plant optimisation on-site. Many investors, planners and plant operators have already benefited from the knowledge of our process chemists and process engineers. Each process is carefully examined by us down to the smallest detail. This gives you greater investment security and you do not have to fear any unpleasant surprises.

13.-18. May 2024Delegation and citizen trip as part of the Halle-Grenoble twin town partnership
An official delegation with the mayor of the city of Halle and members of the German-French Society DFG Halle visited the twin town of Grenoble from May 13 to 18, 2024, exchanged ideas on culture, business and environmental protection and had many interesting encounters. As GNS, we handed over a sustainably produced Magaverde wine box from Halle to the winemaker Thomas Finot from the Finot winery near Grenoble. The atmosphere was simply great and representatives of the city of Grenoble want to support German-French cooperation here and in other projects.

July 2024Innovation in 3D Printing: Sustainable Insulation and Absorption Panels from Natural Fibers
A consortium of three companies and a university has launched a groundbreaking project under the ZIM program (Central Innovation Program for SMEs) to develop form-flexible, sustainable insulation and absorption panels. The project is funded by the ZIM program and combines the expertise of GNS, Additivum, Lithium Designers GmbH, and the Institute for Printing Machinery and Printing Processes (IDD) of TU Darmstadt.
The project "Development of Form-Flexible, Manufacturable Insulation and Absorption Panels from Sustainable Natural Fibers Using Additive Manufacturing and Parametric Design" represents a significant step towards sustainable building innovations and underscores the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration.
