Provincial Waste Management Plan Styria - 2005
The collection volumes of waste materials more than doubled in the years from 1991 to 2003. With
regard to the collection volumes it must be noted once again that small quantities of residual waste or
impurities are among others also included in the packaging collection of ARGEV. Figure 11 illustrates
the trends in separately collected recoverable municipal waste.

3.2.5 Problematic substances
The collection volume of problematic substances has more than doubled since 1991 due to an
extensive expansion of waste material collection centers (Altstoffsammelzentrum, ASZ) and collection
cells for problematic substances (Problemstoffsammelstelle, PSS). Figure 12 shows the trends of
municipal problematic substances collected, including waste cooking oils and fats, from 1991 to 2003.
