TITECH finds alternatives to landfill

This week (28th & 29th April) TITECH are holding their Demolition Day 2010 event in Bad Ems in Germany. A forum of European experts will discuss how we can prepare to meet the challenge of reducing C&D waste sent to landfill and see a live waste sorting trial.

Thousands of tons of recyclable materials from construction and demolition (C&D) activities are sent to landfill every day. The new EU directive 2008/98/EC requires that by 2020 70% of these waste streams are recovered in all EU-member states, but current treatment facilities provide only limited scope to sort C&D waste into recyclable fractions.

On 28 & 29 April 2010, TITECH, the world's number 1 in sensor based optical sorting, will hold Demolition Day in Bad Ems, Germany. A forum of European experts will discuss how we can prepare to meet this challenge and see a live waste sorting trial. The seminar will tackle key topics such as

  • How will European legislation influence the C&D sector?
  • What is the potential for sorting recyclables from C&D waste?
