Overview: Waste management - What demands are made on us? What happens to our waste? What is to be done at our site? Our aim is: Less Waste

Waste can endanger or adversely affect people and the environment: Hazardous properties Growing amounts of waste Why should I worry about waste? Improper recycling or disposal

Which requirements must be met in waste management? Avoiding waste (reduced amounts of waste)

Which requirements must be met in waste management? Avoiding waste (reduced amounts of waste) Increasing the proportion of recycling (as much recycling as possible)

Which requirements must be met in waste management? Disposing waste in environmentally friendly manner (avoiding environmental damage) Avoiding waste (reduced amounts of waste) Increasing the proportion of recycling (as much recycling as possible)

What happens to our waste?

How is waste defined? WASTE (current definition) Waste for Recycling Waste for Disposal -paper -wood -plastics -glass -scrap metals -sludges -asbestos -resins

How is waste recycled or disposed? Material  New resources are made Energetic  Energy is regained Thermal  Waste incineration plants Deposition  Landfill Waste for Recycling Waste for Disposal

What is meant by waste management? Recycling Production Use of product Waste collection Waste disposal Resources & Energy

What legal demands have to be satisfied? Avoid waste disposal by: Collect waste separately Don‘t mix waste Label waste containers correctly Document the proper waste disposal Situate containers correctly Transport waste safely What is to be done at our site?

How can we avoid waste? There are many ways to avoid waste! Some examples: When producingand handling our products

How can we can avoid waste? Reduce Reuse Recycle Recovery Think like that

How can we avoid waste? B is still in use! Longer life spans of the employed resources and of the manufactured products A is already waste! Life Span A Life Span B

How can we avoid waste? Production Production Waste Production waste can be reused directly in a production process Longer life spans of the employed resources and of the manufactured products

How can we avoid waste? Reduce use of packaging materials (employ reusable packaging materials) Production waste can be reused directly in a production process Longer life spans of the employed resources and of the manufactured products

How can we avoid waste? Better primary substances (recyclable, less dangerous) Petroleum Reduce use of packaging materials (employ reusable packaging materials) Halogenated organic solvents Production waste can be reused directly in a production process Longer life spans of the employed resources and of the manufactured products

Why do I have to separate waste? Implementation via waste separation concept ­What categories of waste exist? ­How to separate? ­Where to collect? ­What happens afterwards with the waste? ­Who is able to help me with my questions? There are many reasons in favour of separating waste!

Why do I have to separate waste? A careful separation increases. the chances of recycling. the materials and makes. the disposal easier. No difficulties occur when the waste is picked up.

Why do I have to separate waste? A careful separation increases the chances of recycling the materials and makes the disposal easier. No difficulties occur when the waste is picked up. The environment is not adversely affected.

Why do I have to separate waste? A careful separation increases the chances of recycling the materials and makes the disposal easier. The environment is not adversely affected. No difficulties occur when the waste is picked up. Money can be saved.

What do I have to consider when separating waste? Container labels There are different containers for each waste category Oily rags Oily rags

What do I have to consider when separating waste? Container labels Find out where the containers are located! Locations of waste containers There are different containers for each waste category

How does an exemplary waste separation look? Correct waste separation and collection means: Only the designated waste in the container provided No other materials in this container

How does an exemplary waste separation look? Why mustn‘t I mix anything? Because -recycling would be impossible -dangerous reactions may occur Correct waste separation and collection means: Only the designated waste in the container provided No other materials in this container

How is waste stored correctly? At the place of origin At the collecting points In the storage area Make sure that containers are properly positioned! Water polluting liquids must be placed in a containment basin or be stored in a secure area! Waste

Which requirements must be met when collecting and transporting waste? Waste must be collected separately. The required papers must be available. The proper containers must be used for safe transport.

Why is it necessary to document the proper disposal? The waste producer documents the disposal Which waste was generated in what amount on the site? How was the waste disposed? The competent authority checks: Documentation of proper waste disposal Documentation of proper waste disposal

Which environmental advantages does waste management provide? The Earth‘s resources are conserved Less environmental impact, because Less waste is incinerated or landfilled.

Type of waste Other waste Packaging material Compost waste Glass Other purely-separated waste Hazardous office waste Hazardous waste Personal protective articles Electronic scrap Cafeteria-waste Data carriers Wastepaper

Our Aim is „ Less waste“
