Waste sorting

Waste sorting is the process of separating different types of waste materials to facilitate proper disposal or recycling. It involves categorizing waste into specific streams such as recyclables, organic matter, and hazardous waste. By sorting waste at the source or at recycling facilities, valuable materials can be recovered for reuse, reducing the amount of waste sent to landfills. Effective waste sorting helps maximize resource recovery, minimize environmental impact, and promote a more sustainable approach to waste management. It is a crucial step in the waste management hierarchy, contributing to the conservation of natural resources and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
