Resource efficiency and climate protection are – beside the classical services for the public – the leading dimensions for the waste-economical mass flow management in Germany. Today modern treatment technologies permit a very differentiated waste stream management, in particular to the plastics content in waste streams.
The study analyses in detail and evaluates the present management of the most important plastic-containing waste streams in Germany – about the whole value chains from the waste up to the products.
