Students:Group Three: Eliška, Kiki, Magda, Veronika: Difference between revisions

The waste coming from the industry was set aside and the lecturer, MR. Richard Dornauer,  was perfectly prepared and all of us were given a handout so that we could follow his presentation in an easier way. The company Saubermacher is mechanized from a great part and the human resources are existing merely as an controlling element at the very end of the process. Very interesting point was the issue of using residual plastic in the form of flakes as a fuel for a cement factory. Next to the provinces Styria, Vienna and Lower Austria has Saubermacher also 40 daughter companies in several European countries, including the Czech Republic. Where we can talk about the Rumpold Company that provides all services in the field of handling waste taking regards about the environment. Our whole field trip was perfect nevertheless we missed the opportunity to see the process ourselves.   

Afternoon we came to the southeast border of Styria. In the city of Mureck we visited three companies cooperating on one site. From 1990 SEEG, Nahwärme and ökoStrom deal with bioenergy here. Before Nahwärme was set up Mureck district was dependent on fossil fuels whereas surrounding forest were full of useless wood.  The idea of having a local source for heating developed into todays company which collects woods from surrounding areas and during the winter it burns the material and produces heat for Mureck's schools, municipal buildings, church and 210 households.
