In many parts of the world, challenges related to waste management are significant. Functional collection systems and safe treatment methods are often lacking, leading to large amounts of plastic and other waste ending up in the environment, particularly in the oceans. Marine litter is a global problem, with much of the plastic originating from areas with inadequate infrastructure and weak systems.
In such areas, it is often the informal sector—individuals and small operators—that accounts for a large share of recycling. To achieve lasting improvements, both formal and informal structures must be understood and strengthened.
Norwaste has experience from international projects and a strong understanding of how complex systems function in practice. We offer consulting, planning, and capacity building—ensuring that projects have lasting impact and deliver real improvements for both people and the environment.
We can, among other things, assist with:
Mapping of existing waste systems and stakeholder landscapes
Development of targeted measures for collection, sorting, and recycling
Capacity building and training of local stakeholders
Integration of the informal sector into more robust and equitable systems
Development of pilot projects with scaling potential
By combining local insights with professional expertise, we help clients and partners develop solutions that truly work—even after the project has concluded.
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.
