English Abstract This report presents the results of sorting analyses
with household waste, collected after separate collection at source in the
municipality of Hoogeveen. This pilot project forms part of a project,
called "Afvalscheiding droge componenten" (waste separation of dry
components), in which several Dutch pilot projects, concerning the recycling
of household waste, are evaluated. In a pilot district in Hoogeveen,
household waste is collected in six fractions: - putrescibles (garden-,
fruit- and vegetable waste: "GFT"). - paper/cardboard - glass -
drink-packaging (laminated cardboard) - plastic packaging - a residual
fraction. Three samples of each fraction have been analysed on composition,
purity and response. In this study the results have been compared with
sorting analyses on (integral) collected household waste of a referential
district in Hoogeveen. Besides a comparison is made with sorting analyses
of a pilot project, which took place in a pilot district in the munipality
of Breda.
