If there is no market for recycling, design a house

The Tallinna Jäätmete Taaskasutuskeskus AS plant in Tallinn uses the GORE® Cover System Technology in order to compost bio-waste and chicken manure whilst reducing odors and emissions.

On the campus of the Technical University of Kaiserslautern in Pirmasens, a pavilion has been built in the beginning of 2021, using almost exclusively reclaimed building materials. The important innovation is that the reprocessed building materials are used in the same way as the original building material, as in precast concrete elements, for example, and no longer as inferior fillers. One can therefore speak of reuse - as opposed to recycling.

Nowadays everyone is aware of this fact: fossil fuels are limited and must be replaced by regenerative alternatives. This is also the reason for the lighthouse project Gündelbach district heating supply. The district was converted into a bioenergy village in which a large proportion of the inhabitants heat with district heating instead of oil.

Developing Business Models in Sheltered Container Spots for a Decentralized Waste Handling by Involving All Participants

Raising awareness for waste separation and environment among the population is the goal of our aesthetic and sheltered mini-recycling centers

Every year a high number of crutches is disposed of in Germany, as the health system intends them for single use only. Meanwhile, many people in the global South suffer from a lack of medical supplies. Especially in war countries, the quality of life of many wounded people could be significantly improved through functioning prosthesis, wheelchairs, and crutches.

The plant Ecocentral Granada was a renovation and an expansion of the old sorting and composting plant Loma de Manzanares. It is a hybrid plant, as it is able to process, with the same equipment and on different shifts, the organic fraction and the packaging waste. The plant was designed to achieve a capacity of 450.000 tons organic waste per year. In 2015 this plant processed 356.000 tons of organic waste and 8.100 tons of packaging waste.

With the introduction of the GORE® Cover technology in 2014, the composting plant could be standardized to such an extent that in 2019 the AWG received the quality seal for organic compost. Due to the high level of satisfaction with the technology, a second plant has already been put into operation in the district.

The waste management companies of the city of Augsburg, the district of Augsburg and the district of Aichach-Friedberg, Germany, are active around the clock for the approx. 1.2 million inhabitants in their disposal area. With the initial operation of a biowaste fermentation plant in 2013 and 2016, AVA has become one of Germany's largest players also in the field of material recycling. The reciprocal supplementation and interaction of the plant components result in extremely positive synergies.

Transfer stations are of particular importance for the development towards sustainable waste management, as they are a precondition for closing and rehabilitating local dumps, which are often unsecured. ANGed is aware of this special importance and has realised different sizes and examples of transfer stations where the waste is reloaded depending on the expected quantity.
