Reducing the volume of waste. Detailed breakdown of the figures: In Baden-Baden, the total volume of waste was reduced by increasing the efficiency of steel production. In Halle, numerous trials and material tests were carried out as part of product developments, which led to higher concrete waste in absolute terms in 2021. The Essen site was further expanded. Due to a higher production volume, the waste volume has also increased in relative terms. It should be noted that the majority of all waste is recycled and returned to the material cycle. Minimisation is good – avoidance is better Reducing the volume of waste is an important step in achieving Schöck's sustainability goals. In this context, the amount of non-recyclable waste is being continuously reduced, while at the same time Schöck is sorting production waste so that the individual materials can be used for high-quality recycling. The activities here concentrate on the waste that is produced in large quantities. At the Baden-Baden headquarters, the focus is on reinforcement steel and stainless steel. The waste produced here is returned to the material cycle. At the Halle plant, the focus is on synthetic materials and concrete.
