Waste Sorting Analyses

How can sorting analyses help you?

Sorting analysis is a strategic approach used to assess the quality of waste streams by examining the composition of various waste fractions such as combustible waste, plastic, wood, and paper. The data gathered through this process enables to:

• evaluate the efficiency of source sorting and its potential for material recycling
• determine the quality of source sorted waste fractions
• explore the potential in post-sorting plants
• identify opportunities for improvement in post-sorting facilities
• explore the potential for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU)
• assess the feasibility of implementing differentiated gate fees for incineration

Our offer

We can help you with:

• Tailor-made sorting protocols based on your needs.
• Planning and coordination of sorting analyses of different waste streams.
• Extended sorting analyses in specific fractions i.e. plastic waste. 
• Residual household waste, source sorted fractions for material recycling i.e. plastic packaging, commercial and industrial waste, construction and demolition waste or bulky waste from households or recycling centres are among the waste streams we can help you with. 

We also offer a range of services connected to the outputs from the waste sorting analyses:

• Analyses of parameters such as fossil/biogenic carbon content, fuel quality; hazardous substances (i.e. PFAs) and trace element analyses
• Estimation of CO₂ emissions from incineration of waste streams. 
• Identification and quantification of polymer types
