Made in Germany | The Business with Waste Paper

Description: The Kazakh oil fields are hotly contested. Western and Russian oil concerns both want to access the huge reserves. Kazakhstan has been playing hard to get, and trying to make deals with both. Steinbeis Temming is one such example. The company's managers are unsure whether they'll be able to pass the high costs on to customers. Meanwhile, private waste disposal companies are battling with local authorities over the right to collect old newspapers and magazines. The struggles are played out in the courts and on the streets. Made in Germany has been to Hamburg, where the city's rubbish processing plants compete with private firm Remondis for the lion's share of the market- using dustbins to mark territorial boudaries.
