The need to curb natural resources depletion and climate change and secure a healthy living space for an ever growing human society has become a global challenge. It increases the demand to minimise waste generation and manage arising wastes effectively and sustainably on a worldwide scale. Many countries now face with the necessity to convert their waste management systems from waste disposal through simple dumping or landfilling towards the implementation of a closed loop management of their wastes.
Germany's waste managament system is perceived as one of the most elaborate systems worldwide. Due to strict legislation and regulations whose implementation started as early as the 1970ies, Germany disposes of an experienced, innovative waste management and recycling sector. Nowadays, it receives a very high recognition for its achievements in adopting innovative solutions and implementing a modern, future-oriented waste management. The German waste management stakeholders dispose of an enormous expertise. A large spectrum of technical and organizational solutions have been developed for different types of waste management questions problems.
Having recognised the global need for a for better environmental protection, Germany feels committed to support the transfer of environmental protection know how and technology and promote the export of suitable environmental technology for a sustainable waste management in particular. An essential part of this effort is to provide potential users detailed information about state-of-the-art achievements with regard to sustainable waste management practices and the products and services German companies are able to offer in this respect, especially machinery, plant and process installations, collection equipment and transportation devices.
