Completion through separate collection and recycling
Concentrating on the subject "recycling“, it was important to us to develop an economic as well as ecologically friendly collection system, which was compatible with existing systems, i.e. capable of being integrated with existing waste management systems without involving large technical and financial resources.
At the same time, such a system had to allow the collection of the maximum volume of high quality recyclable materials, thus minimising the remaining waste volume.
On the grounds of environmental care, one starts out in the first place, to avoid waste, secondly to recycle those materials which cannot be avoided, and thirdly to dispose of waste materials by landfilling or incineration, if they can neither be avoided nor recycled.

| Through the use of the SSI SCHÄFER System up to 70 % of re-useable refuse can be segregated from the waste stream and re-used as raw material |
