Green Tech is the major source of strength of the southern Austrian 

state of Styria and is the environmental industry powerhouse. The 

companies of this Green Tech Valley span global borders through 

knowledge, expertise and action, constantly developing advanced 

products and services, which make them successful both in 

international and home markets. Over the past 8 years, the turnover in 

environmental technology has risen on average by 14 % per annum. 

The economic strength and the outstanding R&D ratio of 4.8 % of 

GRP are based on excellent collaboration between universities and 

industry. This gives you as the customer and cooperation partner the 

certainty of buying products and services that are reliable and at the 

cutting edge of technology. To promote this success story further, the 

department of economics sets a clear focus on reinforcing this source 

of green strength through the Eco World Styria cluster. 

Yours sincerely, Dr. Christian Buchmann 

Member of the Styrian Provincial Government for Economy, 

Europe, Culture and Tourism 

The 21 st century is the century of resources: Soil, water, air, energy and 

the climate are the basis of existence for us and our future generations. 

Quite rightly Styria is known as the green heart of Europe and through 

its countless pioneering projects the federal state is characterized by 

sustainable economic activity and research: be it landills which can 

yield valuable resources, buildings that produce energy instead of 

consuming it or the use of regional renewable biomass instead of fossil 

fuels. The strong innovative force of the companies within the Eco 

World Styria cluster thus ensures a globally healthy environment and 

economic success as well. 

Yours sincerely, Johann Seitinger 

Member of the Styrian Provincial Government for Agriculture 

and Forestry, Water and Waste Management, Residential 

Construction and Sustainability 

The social market economy has resulted in unprecedented wealth in 

Austria. However, in order to “secure the peace and the integrity of 

creation” (Friedrich v. Weizsäcker), we must expand these social aspects 

by ecology. For that, it needs innovation, in particular in the energy 

sector, and creative companies, which join forces with the universities’ 

research facilities – which is successfully propagated by our Eco 

World Styria. 

Yours sincerely, Mag. Siegfried Nagl 

Mayor, City of Graz

GREEN ENERGY – technological leader 

in renewable energy 

Styria is noted for its green forests, mountains and lakes and is referred to as the Green 

Heart of Austria. In the midst of this idyllic landscape are the headquarters of companies 

leading in the ields of boilers, and heat and power generation systems using biomass and 

bio-fuels. International lagship projects showcase the power of these cutting the edge 

technologies. 

Innovative leader for biomass boilers (KWB, p61) 

With its fully automatic biomass heating 

systems, KWB has for years focused its 

business on the use of renewable and 

eicient sources of energy. Heating with 

pellets, woodchip, irewood or even 

Credit: KWB olive stones also opens up possibilities 

for utilising all kinds of biomass and for 

achieving considerable cost savings. Modern test plants for simulation, automatic biomass 

fuel detection and state-of-the-art instruments promote the leadership. 

A better combustion (Combustion Bay One, p34) 

Fabrice Giuliani, an entrepreneur from Graz, is a specialist 

in the ield of low fuel combustion. His start-up focuses 

on the combustion of conventional fuels (oil, natural gas, 

coal) which account for up to 80 % of the world’s primary 

energy supply. The methods developed at CBOne aim to 

achieve a more eicient burning process with a lower fuel 

intake and reduced emission of pollutants whilst increasing 

safety and lexibility. A novel auxiliary burner which uses 

thermoacoustics to optimize fuel burning and increase the 

operational range was recently presented. Compared to 

conventional combustion methods, fuel is burned in a more 

environmentally friendly and cost-eicient way.

wInterface with headquarters in Graz, Austria uses 

high-tech methods of digital building photography 

to produce individual heat insulation façades in a 

fully automated process. High-resolution 3D scans 

of a building’s exterior surface form the basis of the 

automated production of wInterface insulation 

elements. Industrial preproduction allows for 

continuously high levels of product quality. The 

façade, together with the patented ixing system, is 

removable and therefore recyclable. 

Fully recyclable thermal insulation (TU Graz & STO) 

A team from the Institute of Architectural 

Technology at the Technical University (TU) Graz, 

in co-operation with insulation specialists STO, 

have broken new ground in façade systems with 

the “façade4zeroWaste” as the building envelope 

of tomorrow: a recyclable façade system with

GREEN RESOURCES – world champion 

in recycling technologies 

Styria is populated by collectors and recyclers. This is relected by the highest material 

recycling rate in Europe at over 70 % as companies have developed leading technologies 

in the processing and sorting of wastes and residues. This makes it possible to direct 

material low into a meaningful cycle and use this to create added value. 

Active Landill Mining 

Twenty enterprises and research institutions 

from the Green Tech Valley are working on 

landill reclamation. Producing and utilizing 

raw materials reclaimed from landills is both 

unique and pioneering. Older landills, in 

particular, contain materials which can be 

reused in view of the growing demand for 

resources. Consequently, landills become the 

future stock of raw materials. 

Clean water

a clear USP: Cleaning toxic waste water without 

the use of chemicals and recycling its material 

residues. Zero-valent iron particles make this 

feasible.

The world`s most advanced glass sorting (Binder+Co, p31) 

The glass sorting machine Clarity nexxt by Binder + Co is the world‘s irst sorting machine 

to sort tiny grains of glass with a size of 1mm. Clarity nexxt analyses information in the 

ultraviolet and visible-light wavelength ranges, and recognises and separates foreign 

materials and shards according to their diferent colours. By combining a UV sensor with 

an RGB camera it is possible to identify and reliably separate heat-resistant special glass 

materials from ordinary glass materials.

(Saubermacher, p77) 

Saubermacher is expert in the disposal of 

hazardous and non-hazardous waste, and 

recycles batteries for customers like BMW. 

The partners Montanuniversität Leoben,

Landill management with drones 

(UTC, p87) 

UTC are currently deploying UAVs (Unmanned Aerial 

Vehicles) to survey landills. These detect complex 

project areas and provide comprehensive, threedimensional 

footage used to construct threedimensional 

models. The surveying of extensive areas 

of terrain results in aerial and orthophotos, which are 

consulted when planning the construction of landills.
