Environmental awareness is increasing
A long time ago we throw away garbage straight out on the street. From 1945 to 1980s municipal cleaning began, waste disposal was largely the same way. The trash was picked up and piled. Everything was "residual waste" and no one thought that there were huge resources wasted.
Since the late 1980s, the view on waste has changed and an increased awareness of environmental issues have been given more attention. Earth's resources are no longer enough to extract new raw materials for production. We have had to take advantage of the resources available in our waste and start recycling through waste sorting.
Reduce residual waste
Waste management can be expensive and much of the waste that could be recycled is still thrown in residual waste. This creates a large amount of residual waste that we have to handle at an unnecessarily high cost, while we waste valuable resources.
The Environmental Act states that we must recycle more to minimize the strain on the environment. A precondition is that the sorting of resources is organized in a simple and efficient manner.
PWS is part of this important environmental work
Genom kontinuerligt utvecklingsarbete, många gånger i nära samarbete med kunder, har PWS utvecklat system för att underlätta källsorteringen. Bland annat har vi tagit fram det revolutionerande källsorteringssystemet Quattro Select, som tillåter sortering med upp till 10 fraktioner på två kärl, med hämtning vid tomtgränsen. Undersökningar har visat att Quattro Select-systemet ökar mängden torra fraktioner och minskar mängden restavfall.
Vi har även utvecklat underjordsystem, som tillåter lagring av stora mängder avfall under jord.
Vi förvarar avfallet svalt året om, och på så sätt minskar vi risken för dålig lukt. Olika inkast möjliggör källsortering.
