Abstract

This paper deals with the efforts of the Volkswagenwerk, to handle waste disposal problems between economical and ecological requirements. It shows how environmental demands influence the legitimate economical motivations of a company. The environmental policy of the early seventies, which favoured landfilling of waste, foiled technological innovations of industrial incineration.
