Since then, waste has been sorted, refined and recycled in the ultra-modern facility. Recyclables, such as B. plastics, metals or wood are removed from the waste and fed back into the economic cycle. The most important goal is the production of quality-assured substitute fuels. At the same time, the EKOCity-Center functions as a high-performance and efficient logistics center. The household waste from Bochum is loaded onto large walking floor trucks in a transfer station and thus transported effectively and economically to the waste incineration plants of the EKOCity group. During the construction of the EKOCityCenter, attention was paid to the highest level of ecological protective measures: dedusting and filter systems ensure a practically emission-free exchange of air, odors and germs are held back by an effective lock and biofilter system. The architecture and the use of special building materials, some of which are manufactured using recycling processes, guarantee low noise levels. facts and figures Sorting and processing of commercial waste - annual capacity 130,000 tons Sorting and recycling of bulky waste from the EKOCity network - annual capacity 70,000 tons Transshipment of household waste from Bochum - annual capacity 90,000 tons Contact Person EKOCityCenter Upper steel industry 8 44793 Bochum Head of Sales: Bernd Bertram, Phone 0234 3336-211 EKOCity Center Bochum EKOCity Current A strong cooperation between municipal waste disposal companies In the past few decades, the municipalities have ensured that a ...
