This is our vision of active environmental protection:
After thermal treatment of one ton of waste, only 10 percent of the original volume remains:
- Volume reduction by 90%
- Fossil fuels are reduced
- Clean air through compliance with the provisions of the Federal Immission Control Act (17th version of the Bundes-Immissionsschutzverordnung, BlmSchV)
- Any noise remains in the interior of the noise-protected system
- Residual products are utilised in road and landfill construction.
- A high percentage of green electricity, as municipal waste consists in large part of biogenic material
- Climate-relevant carbon dioxide emissions are significantly reduced
Pollutant concentrations are continuously measured and monitored:
- Flue gases are cleaned and pollutants are safely filtered out
- The formation of certain pollutants, such as dioxins or furans, is already prevented in the combustion chamber
- Pollutant concentrations are continuously measured, monitored, and data is transmitted online to the competent regulatory authority
