Abfallratgeber Bayern – Waste information with a click
bifa prepares waste management topics for citizens and companies so that they are brief and to the point
The "Bavarian Waste Guide" (Abfallratgeber Bayern – ARBA) is an online information system (www.abfallratgeber-bayern.de) of the Bavarian State Ministry of the Environment and Consumer Protection (Bayerischen Staatsministerium für Umwelt- und Verbraucherschutz) and the Bavarian State Environmental Agency (Bayerischen Landesamt für Umwelt). bifa Umweltinstitut helped to develop the system at the end of the 199s and since then has provided technical and editorial support.
The ARBA is a guide to the disposal and handling of waste. It gives users a fast and up-to-date overview of waste topics. It is directed not only at private persons but also at companies. The information system is also intended to provide support for competent persons.
The content of ARBA continues to develop and it can of course also be accessed and used via mobile devices. The site is currently accessed around 22,000 times a month and is thus one of the most frequently used environmental information systems of the Bavarian Ministry for the Environment. The ARBA is divided into different content areas. The "households" part provides offers and information for interested citizens, for example, waste avoidance tips or information on handling waste. The sector "trade" is aimed at the tradespeople, for example, with industry concepts or information on the import/export of waste. The "Regulations" tab collates the relevant legal frameworks from the EU, Germany, Bavaria and the Bavarian towns, cities and rural districts. A short description with reference, contents and scope and in some cases an explanation, is enclosed with the legal requirements. "Publications" offers publications on different aspects of waste management. In the "Advice" part, users can contact local waste consultants as well as other waste experts.
