About us

Latvian Association of Waste Management Companies (LASUA, in Latvian) is a public organization established in April 1996 and operating under its Articles of Association. Currently there are more than 50 members in the Association who together cover almost 90% of the total Latvian market. Our members are professional companies engaged in management, collection, depositing, processing, handling, burying of household and hazardous waste and removal of industrial waste, and also providing for other utilities.


The mission of LASUA is to represent business, social and professional interests of its members, facilitating complex development of socially responsible waste management companies in Latvia. We are active defenders of the interests of our members and the only professional organization representing the waste management industry in relations with state authorities.


To achieve our aims we are actively working in several professional organizations related to the activities of our members. LASUA is a member of Latvian Federation of Employers and is a member with Latvian Trade Council for Small and Middle-sized Enterprises, Environmental Consulting Council, Consulting Council of the Environmental Protection Fund, and the Board of Latvian Green Belt. LASAU has also established productive cooperation with Latvian Packaging Association and Union of Local Governments, as well as other organizations related to waste management.
We are a serious, professional organization and we are taken into consideration.
