Sorting

The Limburg Optimo Sorting Facility, launched in 2022, serves 32 municipalities and over 300,000 households. It currently sorts five waste fractions: food waste, garden waste, textile waste, residual waste, and plastic/metal packaging. The facility is built to be flexible, with the option to add two more fractions in the future.

Eskilstuna was early with household waste recycling. With the higher demands of The National Goals the municipality introduced optical sorting. Within only a few months the target of 50% sorted waste was accomplished.

The target is a region Östergötland without fossil fules in 2030. This was the main political factor for the municipality of Linköping to introduce household collection of food waste using optical sorting.

The plant is owned and operated by HEM (Halmstad Energi och Miljö AB). It’s built for two fractions, food and rest, with the option to easily extend it to six fractions. The brand new building also contains a pre-treatment facility for the sorted food waste, which becomes biofuel.

The plant sorts five waste fractions and operates in synergy with a pneumatic waste collection system. This integrated approach enhances recycling efficiency and supports Tromsö’s commitment to sustainable waste management in an Arctic environment.

Sorting Oslo is a waste collection project in Norway’s capital, using Envac’s pneumatic system to improve recycling efficiency. It supports Oslo’s environmental goals by enabling automated waste sorting. The system reduces carbon emissions and enhances urban sustainability.
