SWB recovery Contact Media contact Safety briefing RECOVERY ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION COMPANIES SEEK SEND Recovery of household waste In Germany, the recycling of household waste is a municipal task. Cities and municipalities have to take care of the collection, recycling and disposal of the various material flows independently. Material flows are subdivided, for example, into the different colored waste bins. This is done partly on our own, partly in cooperation with private waste disposal companies. The residents of a city or a district are bound by the disposal routes that the municipality gives them. There is a so-called connection and use obligation. The waste disposal association REK (Rheinische Entsorgungskooperation) has been a reliable partner for waste disposal in the Bonn / Rhein-Sieg region since 2009 . Founded by the city of Bonn and the Rhein-Sieg district, the association has been expanded by the Neuwied and Rhein-Lahn districts since 2015 and by the Ahrweiler district since 2018.

SWB recovery Contact Media contact Safety briefing RECOVERY ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION COMPANIES SEEK SEND Waste & Energy The waste recycling plant in Bonn's Weststadt is a symbol of safe and environmentally friendly waste disposal. Thermal recycling of the waste generates heat, which turns water into water vapor. This water vapor reaches the high-efficiency turbine of our sister company SWB Energie und Wasser through the so-called umbilical cord, two 150-meter-long pipelines, at around 40 bar and 400 ° C. There, with the help of cogeneration, electricity and district heating will be produced in a climate-friendly way. With this modern process, we create more than 500,000 megawatt hours of steam and save numerous fossil fuels and reduce CO2 emissions. Cookie Notice We use cookies on our website.
