Recycling & waste management |
Waste and arising raw materials are not only cheap and environmentally friendly to depollute, but also in an ideal case even to exploit substantially or energetically a systematic mass flow management is needed. Thereby the technologies range from re-use of glass and paper to the use of textile residual materials as damping or filling material to the heat generation from wastewater. A balanced and effective recycling system preserves the natural resources and reduces the environmental impacts. But also in the production there are numerous cost advantages arising from the utilization of modern recycling treatments, for example in the recycling of production residues.
The recycling and waste management in Bavaria can revert to an area-wide net of recovery sites and recycling facilities. The extension of these facilities regarding their treatments, technologies, their efficiency and capacity are authoritative objectives for the Bavarian industry. But although the business integrated utilization of recycling treatments pokes full of potentials. In the past 15 years the recycling economy could expand per year around 14 percent. In comparison: The German economy grew in the same period less than two percent per year. This rapid growth promoted the branch to one of the most important suppliers of raw material for the domestic economy. According to study results, the importance of the national economy for raw materials will rise in the next years. Until 2015 the production value of secondary products will reach almost 20 billion EUR. |
