Sustainability

Many ashes can be recycled due to their ingredients and properties. As a result, natural resources such as sand, lime, aluminum, iron or phosphorus are substituted by the contents of the ashes. Reuse as a building material or fertilizer may be possible and we can thus save CO². We also save valuable landfill space.

Our aim is to utilize waste

Our primary goal is to recycle waste in this way, and we are developing further recycling options with our partners. However, it is also important to us to keep transportation distances as short as possible or to transport waste by ship and rail.

Metals may be extracted from ashes in partner companies. The mineral components of bottom ash and boiler ash are used as a valuable and environmentally friendly building material, for example in road construction, if suitable.

By using these secondary raw materials, we replace raw materials and thus conserve natural resources – for a greener tomorrow.
