Potential circular economy impact
Introducing sorting bio-waste in this way could allow it to be recovered and utilised in the form of energy or matter and at the same time reduce the energy used to make separate collections.
What’s involved?
People: Local authorities and users.
Technology: Collection truck with two separate waste compartments for the simultaneous collection of bio-waste and RHW or bio-waste and selective sorting; adapted bi-flow rubbish bins.
