25 years of composting in Maintal: A successful model for the region!
A success story in waste management: The composting system in Maintal celebrated its 25th anniversary last weekend with a varied open house. Many visitors were able to convince themselves of the achievements of the facility and learn more about the exciting world of biocompostation. Hanauer.de reports that the mayor of Maintal, Monika Böttcher, and Bad Vilbels Sebastian Wysocki Foundation of the Zweckverband Bio-waste disposal Maintal-Bad Vilbel described as a pioneering decision.
Since the establishment of the special -purpose association in 2001, valuable compost from organic waste from both municipalities has been won over in the establishment of valuable compost. The company was originally started in 2000 when the existing composting system in Dörnigheim entered a new era. However, the story has even deeper roots: Maintal was already a pioneer in 1987 with the introduction of the brown bio bin in Hesse.
The technical masterpiece
Today's composting system has a capacity of 15,000 annual bins , with 6,000 tons from Main Valley, 4,000 tons from Bad Vilbel and 5,000 tons from the surrounding circle. Every year 5,000 tons of bio -certified humus are produced, which is mainly sold to agriculture. In addition, the system generates an annual turnover of around 1.4 million euros , whereby 12,000 euros are achieved from the sale of compost. hanauer.de
A highlight of the technical equipment are the 14 completed red boxes . There, the bio waste is hygienized within 7 to 10 days . In order to avoid odor nuisance, all buildings of the system are equipped with modern biofilter systems.
A look at the future of composting
The importance of composting grows not only in Main Valley, but also in all of Hesse. Hlnug emphasizes that organic waste, including garden and parking waste, is increasingly valuable for the circular economy. The municipalities are advised to plan the waste management strategically in order to increase the proportion of organic waste in the population and thus promote sustainable solutions.
In Maintal, not only organic waste is processed, but also numerous disposal options are offered. The municipal disposal offer includes:
- electrical and electronic scrap
- fluorescent tubes
- bulky waste from private households
- building rubble and construction site waste
Citizens can dispose of their additional waste at fixed times that vary on weekdays. DetailsOrt Maintal, Deutschland Quellen
