BMU brochure: Closed-loop waste management
Recovering wastes – conserving resources

Cover of the BMU brochure, showing four trash bins. A blue one for paper, a green one for glass, yellow for plastics and red for everythingelse.Modern, closed-loop waste management systems recover resources, mitigate climate change and maintain environmental quality – in short, they are beacons on the path towards a green economy.

While in the past waste was simply dumped in landfills, today we have a very high-tech system of waste management operating within closed substance cycles, with specialised companies and excellently trained staff. Innovative processes and technologies allow us to fully and efficiently recycle our waste and return the resources it contains to the economy.
