RIGK appoints Jan Bauer to the management board

Waste management company RIGK has appointed Jan Bauer as a member of the Management Board with effect from 1 September 2020. At the same time, the company appointed the previous sole Managing Director Markus Dambeck as Chairman of the Management Board.

Business economist Jan Bauer joined RIGK in 2006, where he initially gained industry experience in marketing and customer support. As product manager, he then headed the development of the RIGK-PICKUP system, the ERDE system and - after being granted power of attorney in 2012 - the RIGK branch in Chile. At the same time, he took over the commercial management of RIGK in Germany. Bauer has been a member of the Board of the European Association of Plastics Recycling and Recovery Organisations (EPRO) since 2019.

„With the take-back and recycling of plastics and packaging, RIGK is active in an area that has become increasingly important and relevant in recent years. The path to an efficient and sustainable circular economy for plastics still holds many challenges. We look forward to supporting our customers in this process of change towards sustainability.“ Jan Bauer
