Corona waste is thermally recycled, ie incinerated. In this way, employees of waste and resource companies are protected from possible infections.

The SARS-CoV-2 virus is mainly transmitted through droplet infection, but it can also be infected through smear infection, that is, through contaminated surfaces. Depending on the material, experts assume that the virus will survive for up to three days.

Gabriele Jüly, president of the VOEB: “We call on the population to collect waste that may be contaminated with the corona virus separately in a tear-resistant plastic bag and then dispose of it closed in the waste container. In this way, everyone helps to ensure that employees of waste and resource companies are optimally protected against possible infections. ” However, a corona infection is also the only reason to forego constant waste separation, Jüly adds.
