Secondary Raw Materials and Climate Protection at the "waste to energy"

The recycling of metals and precious metals from electronic devices offers significant CO₂ reduction potential. This is the result of a study undertaken by the German bvse, the Association for Secondary Raw Materials and Recycling. The use of secondary raw materials can for example avoid 1.2 tons of additional carbon dioxide emissions per ton of copper produced. This equals emission savings of 41 percent compared to the so-called primary production. The "waste to energy" trade exhibition and conference for waste treatment, energy from waste and materials recycling, held May 5 to 6, 2010 on the Bremen fairgrounds, puts the spotlight on the burning issue of "secondary raw materials and climate protection".
