Sustainability and environmental protection
We share responsibility for our environment together with you. Please help us to minimise pollution as much as possible.
Water
In Germany this important resource seems to be available infinitely for us. But first problems with the water supply for large cities and falling groundwater levels inflicting serious damage to forests as a consequence show that for us in northern Germany, too, it is important to limit water consumption without sacrificing comfort.
Waste water
Our wastewater is treated in our own fully biological wastewater treatment plant and then discharged into the receiving waters. This plant is very sensitive to sanitary fluids. Therefore, we ask you to refrain from using them altogether or to use only sanitary fluids without bactericidal additives.
For an environmentally friendly and hassle-free alternative, we recommend our CampingButler. It has its own tank and separate waste disposal system, bypassing our wastewater treatment plant. Use of the CampingButler is subject to a fee starting at €2.00. Help the environment and support the protection of our wastewater treatment plant!
Please use only biodegradable washing and cleaning products. Do not dispose of hygiene products such as sanitary napkins, diapers, or wet wipes in our toilets.
Electricity
We obtain our electricity exclusively from renewable energy sources. We use energy-saving illuminants and presence detectors.
Hot water & heating
We converted the complete heating system to a wood pellet heating system in order to achieve a neutral CO2 balance. It is an optimal type of energy, not least because of the proximity of the raw material source for environmental protection. We mainly use the waste heat from a nearby combined heat and power plant, which is used to produce electricity from biogas.
Waste separation
As the dumping of waste is no longer permitted in Germany, we ask you to help us in avoiding and sorting waste. Our campsite will do everything possible to reduce environmental pollution and avoid cost increases in this regard for you as our visitors.
Nordseecamping is a member of Ecocamping. You can find information about the work of Ecocamping at reception or on the internet: www.ecocamping.net.
The following measures have already been implemented:
-
Waste separation in the recycling yard
-
Fully biological waste water treatment system
-
Washbasin and shower fittings, which turn off automatically
-
Light control via presence detector
-
Heating with the exhaust heat of the biogas plant
-
The use of solar energy equipment
