What makes countries successful in handling the challenges of waste management? Based on our expertise in the area of mineral waste, we can answer this question with two inspiring examples.  > more

Still underestimated in the current discussions on environmental and climate protection are the benefits of strengthening the circular economy: Its positive impact on the ecological footprint is immense. Recycling and bans on the landfilling of untreated waste are known to be among the most effective means to counter global warming and environmental risks.  > more

A recent UN announcement was titled “The search for a sustainable sand extraction is beginning”. It is a consistent follow-up of a UN publication called “Sand, rarer than one thinks” from 2014, which we discussed in an earlier edition of our newsletter. Therein, secondary aggregates are explicitly named as material alternatives that can replace sand and gravel.  > more

Our series of short films explaining mineral waste recycling continues with this newsletter. Explaining the way from incineration to the production of high-quality products, the latest film is essential for understanding the upgrading possibilities for incinerator bottom ash aggregate.  > more

If we were to explain what incinerator bottom ash processing simply means, it could be done in one clear and concise sentence: We sieve the material, use magnets to remove iron, apply a wind sifter to remove paper and wood, and we use an electromagnetic field to recover non-ferrous metals. This all sounds relatively straightforward, but of course these processes involve a much higher level of complexity.  > more

Waste management is becoming a defining factor in the growth of successful economies. Citizens and governments worldwide are questioning the efficient use of their country’s resources and the handling of waste disposal. It has become clear that not only rare and valuable resources need protecting; solutions have to be found for all major waste volumes.  > more

Today’s mineral waste is tomorrow’s resource – provided that it is treated to an optimum level. This can only be ensured by professionally managing all forms of residual mineral materials, be it from construction, industrial processes or waste incineration. Because solutions to mineral waste are the bases for zero-waste economies.  > more
