Protect the environment by recycling
Collection of waste material in the Vorarlberg State administration

In 1995 around 30 tonnes of residual waste arose in the Landhaus.  Since the introduction of waste material recycling in 1996, the residual waste volume has been reduced by around one third. The recyclable materials are collected at 15 specially designed  RECYCLING STATIONS set up in the corridors. Employees can dispose of waste material such as glass, plastic, metal and biodegradable waste separately at these stations. Waste paper and residual waste are collected in special containers directly at the workstations.

On the introduction of the new collection system, an INFO BROCHURE (link to German page) was published to explain exactly to staff how the waste material has to be sorted.
