Your contact Areas of Activity Documents Exclusion Criteria for Underground Disposal Underground Recovery Underground Waste Disposal Secondary Aluminium (REKAL) Underground Recovery Disposal and use The most sensible way to dispose of contaminated waste: We use the structural properties of your waste to protect and stabilise decommissioned areas of the mine. Typical waste for underground recovery: Fly ash from waste incineration plants Sinter dust from the metal industry Aluminium filter dust Contaminated soil and rubble Waste containing salt Sludges from chemical-physical treatment and galvanic sludge We deposit your waste in cavities that formerly served as potash and salt mines. The law stipulates that mining areas which no longer meet today's safety standards must be backfilled. Thanks to the location of the cavities between impermeable clay and salt layers, your waste is stored for the long-term. With five underground recovery plants, K+S has the largest capacity in Europe, fit to last for decades to come. Documents Brochure: Underground Recovery Underground Waste Disposal Long-term safe and maintenance-free Rest assured you have chosen the best way to dispose of your hazardous waste: gas and water-tight hundreds of metres below the surface. Our underground waste disposal plants are the very best option for your highly contaminated waste such as: Waste containing arsenic, cyanide or mercury Incineration residues, galvanic residues, filtration and chemical distillation Filter dust from the metal industry Hardening salt residues Contaminated soil and rubble Residues of evaporated landfill leachate These harmful substances are deposited into decommissioned sections of our potash mines. People and the environment are protected well into the future as waste is embedded in thick salt layers well below the groundwater level.
