Recoverable material collection

As part of the further development of waste management concepts, recoverable material collection concepts were drawn up for local authorities in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg. Pick-up and bring systems under the respective basic conditions were compared. The evaluation of published recoverable material bin trials was also able to be used. There is no universal, "one size fits all" recommendation for the most efficient way to collect recoverables. Apart from specific regional conditions caused by grown structures, possible cooperation partners in bin trials or recycling and recovery companies must also be involved in the considerations at an early stage. In order to ensure high-quality material recovery, the recovery channels must be examined precisely.
