- On February 4, 2026, a fire broke out again at Alba’s paper hall in Waiblingen's Eisental industrial area and was quickly extinguished.
- The blaze was triggered by a malfunction in a conveyor belt motor, preventing the fire from spreading to stored waste paper.
- Approximately 40 firefighters responded and limited the damage to an estimated €5,000.
- Recurring fires are linked to improperly disposed lithium-ion batteries that can ignite under heat or pressure in sorting facilities.
Ticking time bombs— Andreas Wendt, Regional Manager at Alba, describes the danger posed by improperly disposed lithium-ion batteries.

- A fire ignited in compressed paper bales on the Alba premises in Metzingen, rapidly spreading across the site in the afternoon.
- Firefighters deployed with 120 personnel and multiple vehicles managed to bring the blaze under control by 4 p.m.
- A water barrier was established to prevent the flames from reaching adjacent buildings containing valuable vehicles.
- Despite containment, crews continued extinguishing efforts overnight due to the high risk of reignition from the large volume of combustible material.
Once the compressed paper catches fire, it is very difficult to extinguish it— Hartmut Holder, the commander of the Metzingen fire department, explains the challenges of extinguishing the fire.
