Download or read book COMMON WASTE SORTING SYMBOLS IN NORDIC COUNTRIES written by Gripwall, Anna-Carin and published by Nordic Council of Ministers. This book was released on 2021-10-14 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Available online: https://pub.norden.org/nord2021-059/ Until recently, communication on waste sorting and treatment differed from country to country and often from municipality to municipality in the Nordic countries. In 2017, a national pictogram system was launched in Denmark and in 2020 the system was launched in Norway, Sweden and Iceland. The plan is to launch it in Finland in 2022. Through the use of the same waste symbols, citizens can receive the same communication on waste sorting, making it easier for all citizens to sort their waste correctly and thereby contributing to an increase in material recycling. With funding from the Nordic Council of Ministers, the Nordic municipal waste organizations have worked together to implement this system in our countries.

Download or read book Food Redistribution in the Nordic Region written by Ole Jørgen Hanssen and published by Nordic Council of Ministers. This book was released on 2015-02-02 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report has a focus on waste prevention through redistribution of food to low-income people via charity organisations. Food redistribution can go via national food banks and via direct redistribution, often on a local level. Food banks redistributed about 1,5 mill meals in 2013, and local charity organisations probably 2–3 times more. The regulatory framework for food redistribution is described and discussed. The demand of and potential for redistribution is probably much higher than at present, and the reports points out strategies and measures for how food banks can contribute to secure and further develop. The report 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.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The aim of this study is to support the future update of the present BREF's from 2006 on Waste Treatment Industries. The practical work has been carried out by the Ramboll Group and associated consultants in close cooperation with the Nordic BAT-group with Rambøll Danmark A/S as leading consultant. The study made it clear that there are several BAT-level technologies, processes etc. already implemented in the Waste Treatment Industries in the Nordic Countries. The study was carried out in cooperation with these industries. The general objective was to identify a total of approx. 60 industries and select and describe in more detail a total of approx. 30 relevant industries. Among the total of 57 identified industries 49 are classified as "Estab-lished techniques" and 8 are classified as "Emerging techniques". All the objects were screened for environmental and climate impacts and 29 were selected based on level of achieved impact

Download or read book PVC waste treatment in the Nordic countries written by Anna Fråne and published by Nordic Council of Ministers. This book was released on 2019-02-18 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of the project was to map PVC waste streams in Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland. The available estimates are made occasionally, mostly within the frames of different projects and are not based on any formalized official reporting system or other rigorous accounting scheme. Overall, a large part of PVC waste ends up in mixed waste fractions and is eventually treated in waste-to-energy plants. Landfilling of PVC waste is banned in two countries, but some exceptions exist. Norway is the only country that treats some PVC waste as hazardous waste. The current waste treatment situation in the four Nordic countries is driven by several factors, such as diverse origins of PVC products, some specifics of the Nordic market, rather low focus on PVC waste in policy strategies or plans, technical issues regarding incineration of PVC waste, and the lack of domestic recycling.
