Special levels of expertise are needed to manage hazardous waste. The staff most qualified to handle such substances at REMONDIS can be found at the Bramsche Industrial Recycling Centre. Hazardous waste and recycling are most certainly not a contradiction in terms here. The centre’s mission, as across the whole of the company, is to do everything possible to protect the environment and curb climate change – something that is particularly well illustrated by the two products, RESPRAY and RENOTHERM.
RESPRAY is a full-service system that ensures old aerosol cans – a product that is officially listed as hazardous waste across the whole of Europe – are collected, transported and recycled safely. Operating its business in line with its motto “turning old cans into something new”, the recycling centre in Bramsche recovers all reusable materials from the aerosol cans. The facility, which was built specifically for RESPRAY, sorts the aerosols, removes any pollutants and then compacts the cans in an inert environment.
REMONDIS’ RESPRAY process was among the final four nominees for the 2017 GreenTec Award, Europe’s most prestigious environmental prize
Coal, gas and oil are, of course, fossil fuels. As supplies of these raw materials are getting increasingly scarce, REMONDIS’ Bramsche centre produces high quality RDF (refuse-derived fuel) from non-recyclable waste which it then sells under its RENOTHERM® brand. Not every type of waste can or is allowed to be recycled for reuse.
The individual properties of RENOTHERM® are precisely defined – this applies both to calorific value as well as specific characteristics, such as grain size and chemical properties.
By taking these materials and transforming them into RDF, REMONDIS Industrie Service is helping to sustainably protect our planet’s supplies of coal, gas and oil. Incinerating non-recyclable materials to generate energy, therefore, protects our environment and helps conserve global reserves of raw materials. Examples of non-recyclable waste include distillation and resin residue as well as old paints.
Thanks to REMONDIS Industrie Service, the very most is made of hazardous waste – ensuring these material life cycles are extended for as long as possible.
