Our vision in practice: Turning waste into the resources needed for the future

Reduce

Reuse

Repair

Recycle

Recover

Dispose

Current marked trend is to start at the top in order to reduce waste

Traditional movement in the waste pyramid is to jump up one step at a time

Examples of Norsk Gjenvinning’s

contribution to the circular economy

The waste management industry reduces Norwegian CO2 emissions by 7%

25,000 tons plastic = saves around 80,000 tons of oil

200,000 tons wood waste =

reduction of CO2 from >100,000 cars

360,000 tons of metal that can be recycled

infinitely

340,000 tons paper = raw materials from >

4.2 million trees
