Environmental Engineering, Recycling
Sustainability. This is the demand of a growing number of consumers worldwide that has led to a u-turn in the thinking of the entire economy. Those who still refuse to acknowledge the importance of green issues and sustainability or at least give the impression of doing so are finding themselves increasingly out of step with the times. All processes from energy production to increasing the efficiency of the internal combustion engine are being optimised with the goal of reducing their impact on resources and the environment. Besides environmental technology, recycling and waste management have emerged as sub-industrial sectors.
SPhere S.A.
Within the last decades, we have changed from a consumption-oriented society to a community which is concerned about environmental aspects. After many years of careless handling of natural resources, we have recognised that everything we do has an impact on the environment, and now we are looking for new ways to protect it. One company which is dedicated to finding environmentally friendly production processes and materials is SPhere S.A. based in Paris. Europe’s leading company for the production of household wraps and waste collection packaging is using more and more sustainable materials such as biopolymers and starch.

RWO GmbH MARINE WATER TECHNOLOGY
Altogether, around 60,000 container vessels, cargo ships, drilling ships and oil tankers
travel on the seven seas. Due to the prevailing public discussion about environmental
protection and the latest ecological disasters, the treatment of ballast water has become
a central topic in the international shipping industry. To discharge ballast water into the
sea means to cause long-term ecological damage. In Germany, the damages are
estimated at around 80 to 100 million EUR, in the USA they have reached dimensions of
around four billion USD. Already in 2004, a law was passed to solve this problem. It will
come into force, once 30 states have signed the convention. Currently, only 27 have signed
up. The RWO GmbH from Bremen in Germany, a subsidiary of Veolia Water Solutions &
Technologies, is an internationally acknowledged specialist for on-board water treatment.
The new ballast water regulation would bring the company unimagined growth potential. more...
