Resources are a valuable asset. Thus it is our declared goal to enable a high degree of recycling within the disposal process. We regain a multitude of the resources and then feed them into the recycling loop. The waste recycling at the location Ihlenberg is already possible since 1996 using a mobile machine. In 1998 this mobile recycling machine for commercial and building waste was expanded into a stationary unit.In 2004 the existing sorting unit for commercial waste (GWA) was modernised and extended. Thus, according to the commercial waste regulations from 01.01.03, a recycling rate of 75% was guaranteed. And since 2005 the rate is 85%. These recycling rates can only be permanently achieved with a combination of material recycling and energy recovery of the commercial waste.In the course of the long-term unit concept this sorting unit for commercial waste was finally integrated in the residual waste handling unit Ihlenberg (RABA Ihlenberg GmbH).
