Ibbenbüren's Biowaste Management Exceeds EU Limits, Aims for Perfection
Ibbenbüren's biowaste management has shown impressive results. The city has met EU limit values and aims to maintain this high standard. Over 99% of biowaste was correctly placed in the biotonne, with only 0.47% consisting of rejects.
The city's success is due to clear guidelines. The Abfallentsorgungsgemeinschaft Kreis Steinfurt (EGST) accepts only garden and plant waste, along with food scraps, in the biotonne. Plastic bags, glass, metal, and other contaminants are prohibited. These rules help maintain the quality of biowaste, which is then converted into energy-rich biogas.
Annual examinations by the Bioenergy Park in Saerbeck ensure Ibbenbüren's biowaste meets EU standards. The city has implemented measures to further reduce rejects, aiming to produce pure, substance-free mulch for citizens. The city's waste ABC guide helps residents understand what goes into each bin.
Ibbenbüren's commitment to quality biowaste has led to exceptional results. By educating residents and enforcing strict guidelines, the city has minimized rejects and maximized energy production. The city continues to strive for excellence in biowaste management, ensuring it meets EU limit values and provides valuable resources to its citizens.
