Raw materials – the basis for industrial value creation Raw materials from a source that never runs dry Raw materials are the basis for every industry, making up around a third of all goods traded on the international market. The global scarcity of fossil resources has serious consequences for the economy as a whole, but particularly for countries like Germany with relatively few raw materials of their own. That’s why, now more than ever, it is vital to return materials to the recycling loop efficiently. The Germany recycling industry is famed the world over. And with good reason: The secondary raw materials industry is already providing a good 14 per cent of the materials used in Germany, and that figure is rising. 40 per cent of all metals produced in Germany are made from recycling material, the German Agency for Raw Materials (Deutsche Rohstoffagentur DERA) says; for aluminium, it’s already nearly 55 per cent. That shows the importance to close the loop.

Recycling: We create value from waste Reprocessing for a sustainable supply of materials Waste cannot always be avoided, and not everything can be reused. Recycling is also needed – to reprocess residual waste, recover as much material as possible, and give it a new lease of life. The companies in the ALBA Group use advanced recycling methods to provide industry with a sustainable supply of key raw materials. Smart recycling is the ALBA Group’s core business. Recycling saves resources, prevents climate-damaging greenhouse gas emissions and significantly reduces industry’s dependence on primary raw materials. Modern recycling technologies ensure a sustained output of high-quality secondary raw materials for the global market. By dismantling end-of-life vehicles, reusing waste wood, reprocessing waste electrical and electronic equipment and recycling plastics, we create value from waste. And with upcycling, we find new, even better-quality uses for waste materials. Vehicle recycling Professional recycling solutions Read more

Managing and recycling electronic waste efficiently Specialists dedicated to recycling used appliances Industry and trade produce large volumes of electrical and electronic waste that cannot be disposed via regular channels. This includes a wide variety of devices, from used computers, monitors, printers and fax machines, refrigerators, freezers, air conditioning systems, light fittings, electronic tools, and devices such as drinks machines and cash dispensers. Electronic waste often contains a large amount of dangerous and harmful substances, including heavy metals like lead, cadmium and mercury - so strict laws are in place to regulate the disposal of such substances. Within the European Union, the handling of electronic waste is governed by the EC Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) and other regulations. In Germany, this Directive is implemented through the German Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act (Elektronikgerätegesetz - ElektroG). Reliable take-back systems The specialist companies in the ALBA Group offer one-stop services for the correct disposal and recycling of all types of electrical and electronic waste in a safe, environmentally friendly and legally compliant way. Public and commercial collection points are available throughout Germany. From these collection points, the waste is sent for initial processing, which includes the removal of harmful substances. This is followed by dismantling and further recycling. Does your business generate electronic waste, and would you like to dispose of this safely and in a legally compliant and environmentally friendly way? Or maybe you're an electrical or electronic equipment manufacturer that needs support in organising a take-back system? We're on hand with help and advice - just get in touch.
