Waste and Environmental Analysis
Source separation - for what reason? Comprehensive documentation on waste streams and economic and environmental impacts are becoming more and more important within waste management. Results have to be measured and documented. Mepex has the methods, sound knowledge and practical tools to analyze the contents of the waste, perform material and environmental audits and to develop performance indicators.
Waste Policies and - Strategies
Business and Environment: The waste industry is largely controlled by regulations. EU is an important driving force, always launching new environmental directives and regulations. At the same time, a global waste and recycling market is rapidly developing. Still, it is a huge potential for increased utilization of the resources within our waste and thus a similar potential for sustainable growth based on interaction between the public sector, the private businesses and the new recycling schemes.
Source Separation, Collection and Sorting
What will be sorted by households? There are currently a number of different local solutions for waste separation at source. Some communities achieve better results than others. Anyway, source separation of waste has a strong position in Norway and has been an important tool for improved recycling results. Central sorting might gain an increased importance as a supplement, both for separate sorted waste at source and for residual waste.
Recycling Systems and Material Recycling
Recycling and safe treatment of hazardous substances. The EU 7th Environmental Framework program is based on a vision of a circular economy, characterized by a high degree of recycling whereby the issue of hazardous substances also is taken into account. The Roadmap for Resource Efficiency promotes the idea of extended producer responsibility (EPR) as key instrument.
