The Rhein-Main Deponie GmbH (RMD) operates the innovative Deponiepark in the Rhein-Main area, which functions as a sustainable environmental, energy and recycling location. In addition to the decommissioning and aftercare of landfills, the municipal company is dedicated to comprehensive waste management, resource conservation and energy generation from renewable sources[1][6].
The central services include the operation of Biomassehöfen, Wertstoffhöfen and plants for the recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment. In addition, the RMD operates several recycling and processing plants, including soil treatment and slag processing plants. Extensive remediation and recultivation projects are carried out on the site, which repair landscape damage and secure contaminated sites - a contribution to environmental protection and sustainable land use[1].
The Deponiepark's commitment to energy generation from waste and bioresources is particularly noteworthy: biowaste is processed into biogas in a dry fermentation plant, which, together with processed landfill gas, is used in combined heat and power plants to generate electricity and heat. The heat supply is distributed to adjacent residential and commercial units via a district heating network. In addition, the company operates several photovoltaic systems with a total output of around 3 megawatts and a small wind turbine on site[2][5][7].
The company's mission focuses on sustainability, resource conservation and climate protection through consistent recycling management and environmentally sound waste recycling. With the systematic use of energy sources from waste, the Deponiepark creates a unique selling point among landfill operators. The company emphasizes the value of municipal responsibility and the commitment to long-term aftercare, as landfill aftercare will continue until around 2070[1][2].
In the Deponiepark Brandholz, an area of approximately 21 hectares, a variety of infrastructural facilities are operated: green waste acceptance, hazardous waste collection point, waste electrical equipment dismantling, biogas plant, waste transfer hall, leachate treatment and gas recovery plants. This infrastructure enables comprehensive, environmentally friendly treatment and utilization of a wide variety of waste streams[1].
Overall, the RMD Rhein-Main Deponie GmbH presents itself as a future-oriented, municipal environmental and waste disposal service provider that combines integrated waste recycling, energy generation and landscape conservation. In doing so, it follows the guiding principle of uniting both ecological and economic goals in the sense of sustainable development and making an active contribution to climate protection.
