Does this answer explain?
Germany recycles over 60% of its waste annually. This is done
by having 160 landfill sites across the country which treat the
waste before it is disposed of. This stops harmful gases from the
waste being put into the atmosphere. Incineration removes over
212,000 tonnes of waste from the country per year this is done at
Damadsty. The excess heat from incineration is shipped to
European countries for example France and Great Britain. This
stops the heat from being wasted. Germany disposes of its
nuclear waste by paying companies in Armenia and Egypt to
store the waste. Most of Germanys waste is recycled and green
dot scheme makes sure local people and businesses are
following the recycling rules. Recycling is made easier by
having recycling points locally for the community to put their
into this encourages people to recycle as they don’t have to go
out of their way to help the environment.
