Norwaste has extensive experience in the biological treatment of food waste, sewage sludge, and garden/park waste, both for composting and biorest, having supported the sector for several decades. We have expertise in management and regulatory development and have been involved in numerous projects related to the hygiene and quality of sewage sludge, food waste, and animal by-products, among others. This includes, for example, validations and applications submitted to the Norwegian Food Safety Authority.
We have a deep understanding of the market and its stakeholders, partly through our annual survey of biogas plants and production for Biogass Norge. This provides insight into the challenges associated with the value chain for the biological treatment of sludge and food waste in general, and biogas plants in particular.
We offer, among other things:
Preparation and improvement of approval applications, risk assessments, surveys, and internal control systems in accordance with requirements from the Norwegian Food Safety Authority and the government administration.
Guidance on compliance with the Animal By-Products Regulations and the Fertilizer Regulations for the proper treatment and handling of organic waste, by-products, and fertilizers.
Assessment of treatment processes and technology with a focus on the hygienic and proper handling of organic waste and sludge, to achieve high-quality end products and regulatory compliance.
In-depth knowledge of converting organic waste into fertilizers, including the value chain, fertilizing effect, applications, and the risk of contamination during the storage and use of compost and biorest.
Conducting sampling and providing assistance in selecting an analysis program for the characterization of organic waste.
Implementation and maintenance of quality assurance systems, updating risk assessments, and conducting internal audits.
Conducting studies to identify opportunities for the establishment and optimization of biogas plants.
Waste management is governed by extensive regulations. Different types of waste are handled within different value chains, some more effectively than others. What is waste to one entity can be a valuable raw material to another. To establish robust value chains, thorough insight, understanding, and expertise within waste, recycled materials, and the market are necessary. Norwaste will contribute to ensuring that your business can succeed, whether you aim to increase the value of your waste or by-products by turning them into recycled raw materials in a circular economy, improve your waste management, or develop new markets.
Waste management is a complex industry. New technology offers significant opportunities for creating new and improved value chains, whether it's in collection, sorting, treatment, or disposal. Norwaste possesses expertise in regulatory frameworks, technological solutions, waste value chains, and the market for recycled raw materials, enabling you to succeed in your business endeavours.
With our long experience of state and municipal decision-making processes, we can make a difference for authorities and municipalities and municipal waste companies, whether the need is related to regulatory development, municipal waste plans or other plans and procurements.
In many parts of the world, the challenges surrounding waste management are significant. Lack of collection and a sound and sustainable waste treatment cause plastic to spill onto the sea and is the largest source of marine waste globally. The need to put in place systems for collection and handling of waste resources is urgent. At the same time, the infrastructure is deficient, and a large informal sector is in many places the only contributor to recycling. Norwaste has the knowledge to understand complicated structures and to help projects succeed.
Our goal is to help people in the best way possible. this is a basic principle in every case and cause for success. contact us today for a free consultation.
