Material flows at the recycling center
The KSJ collects waste separately and controls the respective disposal routes (e.g. reuse, material recycling, thermal recycling, landfilling). All material flows are recorded. They provide information, e.g. on types of quantities, and form the basis for professional disposal and the development of the infrastructure of the recycling centers.
Over 40 different types of waste are now collected separately at the "Löbstedter Straße" recycling center. Around 98% of the waste at the recycling center can be thermally or materially recycled.
