Collaboration Outcomes

Abstract

One of the aims of the projects presented above has been to introduce and evaluate new technologies for household waste disposal, collection, and further treatment. Several new technologies were introduced at full scale in Malmö. Regardless of the often great knowledge and long experience among technicians in the local waste management authority, there is commonly a lack of time for systematic evaluation. Thus, the external evaluation on the part of the university resulted in the thorough identification of weak spots—both from a strictly technological point of view, and, principally, when technologies were studied from a systems perspective. Thus, the collaboration with the university resulted in the development of these technologies and systems.
