    Film footage, music in the background, text inserts

    In the video, a person is shown correctly separating his waste at the station with the help of an ÖBB cleaner. With his new knowledge, the person can help another passenger to separate his waste. Not only at every station, but also at every platform there is a rubbish bin that enables the separation of waste into paper, plastic and residual waste.

Comprehensive waste management

The subject of waste does not stop on the platform. We examine carefully every aspect of waste – from its prevention and recycling to eliminating it entirely. This applies to how we handle and re-use construction waste, excavated soil and excavated rails. We also declare and document hazardous waste and hand it over to the correct authorities.
