The
Zweckverband Abfallbehandlung Nuthe-Spree (ZAB)
editThe Zweckverband Abfallbehandlung Nuthe-Spree (ZAB) is a company based in Königs Wusterhausen that specializes in the sustainable treatment of residual waste. The ZAB was founded in 2002 by the Südbrandenburgischen Abfallzweckverband (SBAZV) and the Landkreis Oder-Spree to jointly tackle the challenges of residual waste disposal[1][3].
Key Products and Services
editThe ZAB operates a Mechanical-Biological Stabilization Plant (MBS) that converts residual waste into substitute fuel. This facility enables the production of secondary fuel suitable for energy use. Additionally, metallic fractions are recovered for reuse, and an inert fraction is stored in landfills[5].
Mission and Values
editThe main mission of the ZAB is to relieve the environment through sustainable waste treatment while stabilizing disposal costs. The ZAB places great importance on personal commitment, continuous learning, and the further education of its employees[3].
Sustainability Goals and Initiatives
editThe ZAB aims to protect the environment through efficient waste treatment. Since the plant began operations in 2006, over 1.6 million tons of waste have been treated, producing 960,000 tons of substitute fuel. These measures help conserve natural resources and reduce dependence on fossil fuels[1].
Structure and Committees
editThe ZAB is led by an association assembly consisting of representatives from the SBAZV and the Landkreis Oder-Spree. This assembly is reconstituted after each local election[3]. The association committee supports decision-making and is also composed of representatives from both partners[3].
