Energy management - because it pays off

Waste treatment at ZAB requires a lot of energy – electricity for processing and natural gas for thermal air purification. Our goal is to use this energy as efficiently as possible to reduce costs, conserve resources, and lower emissions.

That’s why we are currently implementing an energy management system according to DIN EN ISO 50001:2018. We measure the energy consumption of our facilities in detail, analyze it with specially developed software, and continuously optimize our processes. A key metric is the specific consumption – how much electricity, gas, and fuel we need per ton of waste. These indicators help us identify saving potentials and implement targeted improvements.

In September 2025, we will undergo our ISO 50001:2018 certification – sending a clear signal for greater energy efficiency and sustainable operations.
