SDR Biotec was a company that treated hazardous waste near the Cröbern landfill near Pohritzsch in Saxony from 1999 to 2011 . The company mainly processed slag from the aluminum industry, filter dust from waste incineration plants and oil sludge from industrial plants. SDR pretended to immobilize the pollutants by means of crystal chemical integration , but this was not the case. The treated immobilized material was then deposited in landfills in Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia.
In 2008, limit values for lead, cadmium, arsenic, nickel and thallium were measured for dust immissions. Soil investigations in 2009 revealed that the limit values for lead and cadmium (8,000 mg lead and over 400 mg cadmium / kg dry matter ) in the vicinity of the plant were clearly exceeded .
In some cases, immobilisate deliveries by SDR Biotec to the Saxon landfills AAD Spröda (2006), DWW Chemnitz (2008) and ZDC Cröbern (2008) were rejected due to excessive heavy metal concentrations.
At the beginning of 2011 the company was searched and the public prosecutor's office SDR Biotec closed on April 1, 2011. The Leipzig public prosecutor brought charges against the operators of the company at the end of 2012.
After the closure, over 700 tons of waste are still stored on the SDR Biotec site.
