Characteristic properties and recyclability of the aluminium fraction of MSWI bottom ash
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The increasing use of aluminimum in packaging applications results in many different aluminium-based products ending up in consumer mixed-waste bins. This waste is typically incinerated, generating an aluminium-containing ... -
Detecting glass and metal in consumer trash bags during waste collection using convolutional neural networks
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)We present a proof-of-concept method to classify the presence of glass and metal in consumer trash bags. With the prevalent utilization of waste collection trucks in municipal solid waste management, the aim of this method ... -
Door-to-door waste collection: Analysis and recommendations for improving ergonomics in an Italian case study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)In the last decade, door-to-door waste collection methods have been largely applied by several municipalities in Italy, with the main purpose to achieve higher rates of sorted waste. This approach requires waste collectors ... -
LCA of recycling aluminium incineration bottom ash, dross and shavings in a rotary furnace and environmental benefits of salt-slag valorisation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Recycling aluminium in a rotary furnace with salt-fluxes allows recovering valuable alloys from hard-to-recycle waste/side-streams such as packaging, dross and incinerator bottom ash. However, this recycling route generates ... -
Optimizing environmental and economic aspects of collaborative transportation and logistics related to infrastructure projects - A case study from Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The main challenge addressed in this paper is how to handle and recycle the large amount of C&D waste that is generated from infrastructure projects. The study is motivated by Bærum Ressursbank in Norway and their aim of ... -
Sensor Technology Options for Municipal Solid Waste Characterization for Optimal Operation of Waste-to-Energy Plants
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Reuse, refurbishing, and recycling are the most sustainable options for handling waste materials. However, for municipal solid waste (MSW) that is highly heterogenic, crude, contaminated, and decrepit, thermal conversion ... -
The supply and demand balance of recyclable textiles in the Nordic countries
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The textile industry is on its early steps towards circular economy. Being a highly resource-intensive and waste-generating industry, it is essential to embrace fiber-to-fiber recycling in addressing the increasing textile ... -
The mass flow and proposed management of bisphenol A in selected Norwegian waste streams
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Current initiatives for waste-handling in a circular economy favor prevention and recycling over incineration or landfilling. However, the impact of such a transition on environmental emissions of contaminants like bisphenol ...
