The Bassum site operates a facility for the processing of municipal and commercial residual waste. Incoming waste is mechanically sorted and sieved to recover metals and high‑calorific fractions, while the fine organic fraction undergoes thermophilic dry anaerobic digestion to produce biogas. The resulting biogas is converted into renewable electricity and heat via a combined heat and power unit, with additional use for process support. Digestate and other organic fractions are further stabilized through a controlled composting and post‑treatment process. High‑energy fractions are recovered and utilized as refuse‑derived fuel in industrial applications. Through this integrated approach, the Bassum facility significantly reduces landfill volumes while maximizing material and energy recovery.
