Cleaner Production Germany

A wide range of innovative technologies for the sorting, pre-treatment, recycling and safe disposal of waste have been developed in Germany, among them:

• Opto-electronic sorting systems, mechanical and mechanical-biological processing plants, and incineration centres with combined heat and power generation (cutting-edge technology for municipal solid waste)
• Concepts and technologies to make the disposal of waste and landfill operations more environmentally compatible
• Chemical, physical and thermal waste treatment processes to protect soil, water, the climate and human and animal health from their negative effects of special waste (i.e. hazardous or toxic waste).

Information on successful demonstration projects in these areas can be found in the Cleaner Production Germany internet portal. It contains references to projects completed since the early 1990s in areas such as waste prevention and recycling. The projects are selected by the Federal Environment Agency.
