Because this term restricts. We prefer the term “recycling and waste management” because it expresses exactly what we want and what we do. Safe and environmentally friendly waste disposal is an important task for us. At the same time, it is our goal to return as much as possible of what is collected to the economic cycle in a beneficial way. Recycling raw materials and secondary products, such as electricity for around 50,000 households or district heating, are products of our work. In detail this means: Recycling : By collecting and processing various secondary products, we recover waste paper, waste plastics, waste wood and much more, thereby replacing valuable primary raw materials (including oil). Our slag processing plant "generates" around 30,000 tons of ferrous and non-ferrous metals from waste incineration slag annually. Energy generation : By incinerating waste in the AGR-RZR Herten waste power plant, we are able to provide our cooperation partner, the Herten municipal utilities, with more than 275 million kWh of electricity per year; this corresponds to the consumption of approx. 80,000 households. In addition, with a corresponding reduction in electricity generation, we generate up to 560 GWh of district heating (25,000 households) from the combustion processes, which is supplied to the Ruhr district heating network and a neighboring industrial area. Generation of electricity from methane gas : With our combined heat and power plants on landfills, we generate several million kWh of electricity per year; that is the amount of electricity that several thousand households need. Insgesamt ergibt sich durch diese Aktivitäten für die AGR Gruppe eine positive CO2-Bilanz von über 276.000 Tonnen CO2-Äquivalenten im Jahr 2014. Das heißt, es gelingt uns seit Jahren, mehr Kohlendioxidäquivalente einzusparen als wir insgesamt erzeugt haben. Um diese Menge des Treibhausgases zu speichern, wäre eine Mischwaldfläche auf 30.000 Fußballfeldern erforderlich. The examples show that competence and technical ingenuity are the key to industrial energy and raw material extraction from waste products. But that's not all: In the still young field of secondary products, a wide range of research and development tasks opens up for scientists, engineers and technicians who want to contribute creatively to the circular economy. At the AGR Group you will find the right environment for your thirst for research.
