Bauer AG has entered into a partnership with Hamburger Energienetze GmbH to transform the sustainability of Hamburg’s utility construction projects. Since 2019, this collaboration has focused on processing and reusing soil excavated during construction, rather than disposing of it as waste. The initiative aims to conserve resources, reduce costs, minimize waste, and decrease emissions by treating up to 50,000 tons of soil annually at Bauer’s soil remediation center in Hamburg. This effort aligns with the national Ersatzbaustoffverordnung, which regulates the production and use of substitute building materials, allowing for the reuse of soil on-site, provided it is treated according to legal and technical standards. This partnership highlights a significant shift towards circular economy practices in construction, reducing reliance on new materials and landfill space.
