K+S Entsorgung Company Brochure

P E R S P E C T I V E SC A P A C I T I E SThe initial idea was to develop better concepts for the disposal and the reutilisation of hazardous wastes, and to provide long-term capacities for this purpose.

Our ranges offer planning safety without bottlenecks, for many years to come. Ideal geological conditions, state-of-the-art technologies and reliable customer liaison throughout all procedures ensure maximum safety, both to our customers and to the environment.We are the European leader in underground disposal.Eight underground facilities in GermanyThe longest ranges in all of Europe40% market share in the reutilisation of ? y ashesAgencies in several countriesK n o w l e d g e = Ex p e r i e n c e + I n fo r m at i o nEncompassing experience in the waste disposal industryStrength created by networks1972: Pioneering the ? rst underground disposal facility world-widePrecise knowledge on European approval proceduresK N O W L E D G EPositioned within the network of the K+S Group, K+S Entsorgung utilises an enormous store of profes-sional experience and expertise in the areas of logistics, process engineering, chemistry, geology, and mining.

We deliver the salt ? uxes Alasal® and Montanal® while accepting returned salt slag for recycling. On receipt of the salt slag we extract the aluminium gra-nulate, which is then returned to our customers as a valuable raw material.We offer professional and economically viable solutions for all types of waste guaranteeing both sustainability and safety.
