The German Waste Management Act (paragraph 11 II) obligates waste producers and mandated waste management authorities to collect biowaste separately from 1 January 2015 onwards. Although most mandated waste management authorities have started offering these waste management services, not all of them have done so. But there is a trend towards a comprehensive offering and expanding existing bin collection systems
for biowaste. Rising amounts of biowaste illustrate this effect. The UFOPLAN Research project on the mandatory implementation of separate biowaste collection, released in 2014, saw u.e.c. Berlin and GAVIA examine the implementation of the obligation to collect biowaste separately, existing concerns with the expansion of separate collection and recommendations for optimal system design. This presentation deals with the insights gained from this research project, current trends and the opportunities for the waste management industry.
Paragraph 11 I of the German Waste Management Act (KrWG) dictates that biowaste should be collected separately from households from 1 January 2015 on wards. While mandated waste management authorities have been offering the separate collection of kitchen and garden waste in many parts of Germany for years now, a few regional authorities are only just now starting to implement this requirement by introducing a separate bin for biowaste - and other regions have yet to take this step. Separate collection of biowaste should be considered a necessary prer equisite for tapping into biowaste's material and energy potential. The contribution that organic waste that is already generated should make to Germany’s shift to renewable energy sources is one of the current social issues facing the waste management industry and has not yet been definitively resolved. The UFOPLAN project, which ended in 2014, explored the issue of whether the German Waste Management Act's requirement for the separate collection and treatment of biowaste has to be clarified and, if yes, how. This project was under taken by the firms u.e.c. Berlin and GAVIA. This article further addresses current trends and the opportunities afforded by rising amounts of biowaste for waste management companies.

Europäische Rechtsvorgaben und Auswirkungen auf die Bioabfallwirtschaft in Deutschland

Bioabfälle machen 34 % der Siedlungsabfälle aus und bilden damit die größte Abfallfraktion im Siedlungsabfall in der EU. Rund 40 Millionen Tonnen Bioabfälle werden jährlich in der EU getrennt gesammelt und in ca. 4.500 Kompostierungs- und Vergärungsanlagen behandelt.

Auch mittel- bis langfristig steht zu erwarten, dass die Kaskade aus anaerober und aerober Behandlung Standard für die Biogutbehandlung sein wird.
Die Mischung macht‘s - Der Gärrestmischer in der Praxis

Zur Nachbehandlung von Gärrest aus Bio- und Restabfall entwickelte Eggersmann den Gärrestmischer, der aus Gärresten und Zuschlagstoffen homogene, gut belüftbare Mischungen erzeugt. Damit wird den besonderen Anforderungen der Gärreste mit hohem Wassergehalt begegnet und eine effiziente Kompostierung ermöglicht.
