Scientifically proven resource efficiency
Full transparency for the benefit of customers and the public: once a year, the renowned Fraunhofer Institute UMSICHT assesses the environmental impact of the ALBA Group's recycling activities. In 2020 alone, we recovered almost 3.5 million tonnes of recyclable materials in Germany, Austria, Poland and Slovenia, saving around 28.8 million tonnes of primary raw materials. This is the result reported by experts at the Fraunhofer Institute UMSICHT in a report "Resources SAVED by recycling", investigating recycling of metals, waste electrical and electronic equipment, paper/cardboard, glass, plastics and wood.
"Recycling is an important part of a sustainable society: it contributes to saving resources and reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and reduces economic dependence on imported raw materials. The study clearly shows the important role played by companies such as the ALBA Group."
Dr.-Ing. Markus Hiebel
Director of the Department of Sustainability and Resource Management at the Fraunhofer Institute UMSICHT
