This is a guideline for plastic sorting at recycling centres. The aim is to give assistance to the choices made by the management of recycling centres in order to collect plastic of better quality and in greater quantities. In the guideline, the potential plastic categories are listed and described, also with respect to potential content of hazardous substances. Issues to take into account when choosing how to organise the collection of plastic at the recycling centre are described. A separate chapter looks at how the public could be assisted with the sorting of plastics at the recycling centres. The guideline is part of the Nordic Prime Ministers' overall green growth initiative: “The Nordic Region – leading in green growth” - read more in the web magazine “Green Growth the Nordic Way” at www.nordicway.org or at www.norden.org/greengrowth

This project examines the market for recycled plastic, with a primary focus on post-consumer plastic waste because this is considered to be the more problematic. The market for plastic waste generated in manufacturing and production is relatively strong and well-functioning; As a consequence, the majority of plastic waste from manufacturing and production is recycled. Post-consumer waste is much less homogenous: it comes from a wide variety of sources, and contains a wide variety of plastics and tends to be difficult to collect, sort, and recycle. This project identifies barriers to further utilisation of recycled plastics, and analyses a collection of policy tools that could be used to support and expand that market.

This report is a background report for the "Guideline for plastic sorting at recycling centres". The background report describes the methodology used in preparing the guideline, including information from existing systems and the stakeholders that can be used by the recycling centres in their decision process. The report describes the importance of communicating with purchasers about the expected purity and traceability of the plastic further down the value chain. The report is part of the Nordic Prime Ministers’ initiative: “The Nordic Region – leading in green growth” – read also more in the web magazine “Green Growth the Nordic Way” at www.nordicway.org

Tests of plastic packaging in Finland and Norway exposed products that are lost in the sorting process and are not recycled. Products that proved challenging to sort or recycle were then presented to their producers. To assist producers in making favourable decisions, fact sheets with design guidelines were developed for common plastics, HDPE, PP, LDPE and bio-based and biodegradable plastics, to highlight which design choices best help improve recyclability. These also include Norway-specific information on the downstream value chain for plastics. Producers have shown a willingness to improve their products to increase the level of recyclability. These developments show how higher recycling rates of plastic packaging can be achieved by supporting Nordic producers in implementing design for recyclability principles when designing their packaging.

Waste pickers are an integral part of the informal South African waste management system. Their trade contributes to recycling by reducing the circulation of waste from the formal municipal waste management system.. Evictions of waste picker communities that live on privately owned land in Centurion (Tshwane region 4) have been a cause of distress for these individuals for years. They continuously face inappropriate living and spatial conditions to support their livelihood, having no other option. Ongoing evictions force the waste pickers to areas distant from residential domestic waste collection. This results in exhaustive travel to collect enough recyclable items, sold for a small fee to buy-back centres. The collection and reclaim site where the transaction occurs is dependent on the collection company. This leaves little room for negotiating collection areas closer to the suburban and urban communities. The project argues that a facilitative space may contribute the economic empowerment of the waste pickers through access to plastic waste pickers through access to plastic waste recycling equipment, training, and access to new markets which can yield a greater opportunity for improved livelihoods. This study will identify an appropriate site through mapping and analysis of the waste picker community to propose a new plastic waste processing centre to address economic and social challenges. This study also looks at the collection and sorting of recyclable waste plastic and the production of new materials or products to sell. The study will also employ published research papers and quantitative methods to investigate considerable economic opportunities and approaches. Components within the centre such as training and possible access to new markets will also be provided to the waste pickers. The design and placement of an appropriate recycling centre could provide economic opportunities, improve quality of life and provide identity and ownership within the waste management system. The study found that access to a centralised building improves the accessibility to a higher in come for the community of waste pickers compared to having no centralised space. The study also found that a higher revenue generation can be possible, although the initial cost to set up typical plastic processing equipment is costly. Alternative solutions can be explored further. Access to train ing for operating processing machinery may open opportunity to build waste picker skills and can be incorporated in the building programme.

Households in the UK each generate around one tonne of waste per year, and the successful management and disposal of this waste is becoming an increasingly important issue. In many cases, recycling is the most sensible option, and the UK government has set a target to recycle a quarter of all household waste by the year 2000. This book gives an overview of the waste management and disposal options currently available, and provides a comprehensive and up-to-date analysis of how recycling could develop. The author – one of the UK's leading experts – looks at how much of the waste is potentially recyclable, shows the various ways in which recyclable materials can be separated and reprocessed, and assesses the existing markets for recyclable materials. He gives an in-depth account of the important subject of packaging recycling, and compares the UK's progress and performance with what is happening elsewhere in Europe. He also discusses how the performance of current recycling schemes can be measured and costed, and forecasts future developments in the industry. Dr Richard Waite is a former Specialist Advisor to the House of Commons Environment Select Committee and is currently a consultant with Coopers & Lybrand. He established one of the first commercial MRFs in the country, and has advised many local authorities, central government departments (including the European Commission) and private sector organisations on recycling issues.

Achieving a high quality of waste plastic materials and recycling processes is a key challenge in closing the resource loops for plastics. This report reviews the status and trends for plastic waste flows and treatment in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. Furthermore, it gives an overview of existing policy instruments and the main challenges for designing policy instruments for improved recycling of plastic waste in these Nordic countries. The report identifies potential market failures associated with closing the resource loops for plastics. It reviews the economics research literature on policy instrument design for achieving optimal recycling rates and makes policy recommendations from the Nordic perspective. Finally, it presents results from a survey on market conditions to managers in the recycling and plastic manufacturing industry in Sweden.
