What's a Waste Sorting?
Waste Sorting is the process of separating different types of waste materials at the source or in processing facilities to facilitate recycling, composting, and proper disposal. Waste sorting can be done manually or using automated systems that identify and separate materials such as paper, plastics, metals, and organic waste. Effective waste sorting is crucial for maximizing recycling rates, reducing landfill use, and minimizing environmental impact. By sorting waste, materials can be more easily processed and repurposed, supporting a circular economy and reducing the overall environmental footprint of waste management operations.
