The new TransFER system for LINZ AG that uses innovative, multimodal MOBILER logistics is an excellent example of the successful implementation of the Waste Management Act in Austria.

On 1 January 2023, the transport clause of the Waste Management Act (AWG) will come into force. It states that waste with a total weight of more than 10 tonnes that must be moved over a distance of 300 km or more must be transported by rail. ÖBB is investing €75 million in new rolling stock so that it will be able to handle the additional waste transports.
