Development of waste- and material flow management taking the Hanover region as an example

The region of Hanover can look back on years of experience regarding the recovery of waste and recyclable materials. In this period of time numerous waste processing plants with a highly innovative character have been built which were widely recognized also beyond the region. The material flow management (MFM) of the municipal waste Management companies thus requires the application of appropriate, future-oriented strategies. The companies are challenged on each level and in all their service areas, with the aim of a systematic further development of the service task entrusted to the municipal waste disposal companies. The Waste Disposal Association for the region of Hanover, abbreviated aha in German, has created the necessary prerequisites and continuously improves them.

In the Hanover region about 1.1 million inhabitants life in an area of about 2,300 km².The Waste Disposal Association for the region of Hanover (aha) is the public body responsiblefor waste management, and in charge of collecting waste and recyclable materials,it operates 21 recycling depots, three disposal sites and various waste treatmentplants. In 2014 approximately 524,000 Mg (or tons) of waste accumulated in the regionof Hanover. This does not include separately collected recyclable materials such as paper,lightweight packaging, metal or electronic scrap. The waste is then assorted andassigned to various waste treatment plants in accordance to its origin, heating valueand haul distance. The treatment of residual waste is effected by a contingent of externalwaste incineration plants und the MBT plant for residual waste in Hanover, belonging to the waste disposal association aha.
