Geocycle - LafargeHolcim Ltd services

At the Lägerdorf site, Geocycle offers you residue-free processing of your roofing paper. Roofing paper is often used as the top roof layer for smaller roofs. Roofing paper is also often used as a second water collection layer under the tiles. The two main different categories are bituminous and tar-based roofing papers. Tar-based roofing paper is no longer being manufactured but is generated in the course of dismantling or demolition projects. Given that coal tar contains polluting agents such as PACs (polycyclical aromatic hydrocarbons = compounds consisting in several `condensed` benzene rings), tar paper is considered hazardous waste and is thus subject to special regulations.

Geocycle looks back at many years of experience in the area of industrial waste disposal and works together with hand-picked processing partners from the building material industry and disposal experts in the field of recycling management. We ensure proper waste management of ash, slag and other mineral waste such as used sands or slurries. We hold the required authorisation for our business activities according to § 50 KrW/AbfG (Act on the Closed Substance Cycle and Waste Management).

With co-processing, Geocycle ensures that your waste is turned into alternative raw materials and fuels as part of the energy-intensive production processes taking place at the cement plant of Holcim (Deutschland) AG. Due to constant monitoring of the entire supply chain and complete processing of your waste, you have a one hundred percent disposal security. Consequently, you will have access to a sustainable processing option, giving you the chance cultivate an open and transparent attitude concerning your waste management.
