Challenging initial situation
The waste sorting plant in Bochum stores all kinds of
household packaging waste and sorts it for further treat-
ment. These materials subsequently leave the plant as
recycled products.
The waste delivered to the plant is inherently hazardous,
as it is easily flammable, and represents a substantial fire
load. In case of spontaneous self-ignition of the waste, a
fire could destroy the expensive sorting facilities, leading
