Recycling is the sum of environmentally friendly provisions with a sustainable effect
Sustainable management to preserve natural resources is the fundamental idea that was anchored in the German Waste Recycling and Management Law in 1996. Since then, it has been the duty of manufacturers and vendors of products to take into consideration the entire lifecycle of their goods including disposal during the design phase. The basic objective and task hierarchy for waste is "avoidance comes before recycling, which comes before disposal". Any waste that cannot be avoided must be returned as a secondary raw material to the economic cycle if possible.
There are good reasons for recycling and the reuse of valuable materials being important for the economic cycle: waste recovery saves resources, protects the environment and reduces the expense of producing new products. The return of raw materials to the materials cycle is ecologically and economically benefical. Environmentally compatible disposal only makes sense where this is not the case or where waste poses a risk to humans and the environment As the active part of the recycling management process, DELA GmbH assumes responsibility and recovers the reusable materials contained in the waste for customers.
