AS ALARA cooperates with various contracted companies and organisations. We have developed good cooperation with both Estonian and foreign sectoral organisations, such as. Estonian Circular Economy Business Association together with its members (hazardous waste management direction), and International Atomic Energy Agency (towards radioactive waste and calibration services). We also work with a number of RAJALA project with major contractors and agencies responsible for radioactive waste management in various countries through the Club of Agencies.

Many companies and organisations are customers of waste management. For the collection and treatment of hazardous waste, we work with companies that have contracted with us. For the management of radioactive waste, we cooperate with all holders of a licence to operate radioactive sources and, for orphan sources, with all those who come into contact with their discovery, e.g. scrap disposal companies, customs and border guards. 

In relation to tours of the former Paldiski nuclear site, we are ready to cooperate with tourism companies. In case of interest, please contact Ivo Tatrik (alara@alara.ee or +372 515 1111).
