Mixed Waste Sorting is becoming increasingly important in addressing the challenges of waste management and climate impact. It involves processing unsorted waste to extract valuable recyclable materials.
In this episode of The Reloop Brief, Barry is joined by Anna Larsson, Reloop’s Director of Circular Economy Development, to discuss how Mixed Waste Sorting is being implemented and why it matters.
We learn why Mixed Waste Sorting should be seen as a tool for governments and policymakers alongside other methods and discuss the potential to reduce waste sector-related emissions by 21%. The conversation unpacks how this approach could strengthen recycling efforts, without being as costly or as complicated as it may seem.
