to an economic technological solution. Recycling On the one hand many regions in the world do not have enough primary resources like ores, oil or the primary material on the world market is relatively high. On the other hand rapidly growing economies have secondary raw materials such as waste electronic equipment, waste metals and plastics available. Closing loops could be part of the solution. Plastics have a share of 15 per cent in automobiles - an increasing trend. A challenge could be to elevate the recyclability. This could be done in two ways: either by recycling-suitable construction and/or by utilizing adapted recycling processes. But the main issue is to apply high grade secondary plastics in new automobiles. Disposal Last but not least the sustainable and safe disposal of waste presents a main aim in modern societies. Landfill is the most common way to get rid of waste in the world. For security reasons (to avoid landfill gas detonation or percolation water to the ground) it is indispensable to build state-of-the-art landfills including bottom sealing, pre– separation of biodegradable material, compaction and energy recovery and landfill gas. The German manufacturers of waste management and recycling technology stand for state-of-the-art technology, highest quality standards and reliable service. The enterprises are experienced global players. Worldwide project management, high safety standards and a broad spectrum of technologies complete the general picture. The innovation force of this industrial branch is apparent particularly in the development of new, ever more eco-friendly technologies.
