Test of indoor recycling in social housing areas

TEST OF INDOOR RECYCLING IN SOCIAL HOUSING AREAS


ABOUT THE PROJECT

Copenhagen municipality has for a goal that 45% of Copenhageners' waste is recycled in 2018, and in the years to come, even more must be sorted. In continuation of a series of pilot tests in 2017, which examined how the municipality of Copenhagen can encourage its residents to recycle more of their waste, experiences and results are now combined in a new and larger test. One of the central pilot tests that forms the basis for the new test is the project "Local resources and indoor waste sorting", which was carried out by Konradi - life in and between the houses, and which you can read more about here. In the new test, local resources - operating staff and department board - who will act as ambassadors for indoor waste sorting is combined with an online course aimed at giving the residents knowledge as well as tips and tricks about waste management (Servicedesign 2.0). These two elements is meant to improve recycling in the residential areas. Continuous weighing of the recycled waste is carried out in order to gain insight into the concrete effects of the effort. The results of the test determine whether the service design should be rolled out to the rest of Copenhagen.

RESULTS
