The Kapiteltal landfill is a joint landfill project of REMEX and the landfill operator Zentrale Abfallwirtschaft Kaiserslautern (ZAK). It is a model example of forward-looking cooperation between private and public waste industry.
Like all federal states, Rhineland-Palatinate regularly publishes a waste management plan. This plan serves to secure long-term disposal capacities and provides an overview of the status quo and future developments of waste flows and landfill capacities.more
The owner and operator of the Kapiteltal landfill is the Zentrale Abfallwirtschaft Kaiserslautern (ZAK). In 2000 the landfilling of waste was terminated. In 2015, landfill work for the expansion of the landfill began. Since 2016, between 400,000 and 500,000 tonnes of class I waste can be deposited there each year. more
Due to the high financial risks associated with the project, the Zentrale Abfallwirtschaft Kaiserslautern was looking for a reliable cooperation partner. ZAK selected the contracting party in the form of a Europe-wide declaration of interest procedure. more
The new landfill uses 21.3 hectares of the old landfill area and an additional 10.3 hectares of the surrounding area of the Kapiteltal valley. First, the final profiling of the old landfill body had to be completed before construction of the new section could begin. ZAK is responsible for the works including tendering and selection of the construction company for the new landfill section.more
