Description
When ALBA first opened its doors in 1968, reusing old products and materials as a source of raw materials was considered a worthwhile but unrealistic ideal. From day one, ALBA saw waste as more than just a troublesome nuisance, and was quick to invest in technologies for extracting and processing recyclable materials. Even in the very early seventies they were starting to collect, sort and recycle glass, paper and cardboard in Berlin. The company created the ""Berlin model"" - the type-specific separation of materials that's essential for high-quality recycling and now used throughout Germany.
