The Danish model for sustainable waste solutions
Danish know-how and expertise within waste management
In contrast to other infrastructure areas, such as water supply and wastewater treatment, the solid waste management sector is characterised by a large number of actors and a wide spectrum of services.
On the one hand, there are collection systems, transportation and logistics, recycling and treatment plants and landfill sites that could be termed the waste management sector per se. On the other hand, there are different systems aimed at different waste generators: households, industries etc. Finally, there is the large number of services developed for the different waste fractions: paper, glass, plastics, waste oil, used tyres and so on.
We have chosen to depict the collaboration possibilities offered by Danish consultants, suppliers, management and operational experts, public as well as private, whenever Danish public authorities, private consultant companies and suppliers participate in international waste management projects.
Denmark, Danish authorities and enterprises can deliver almost any service within the waste management sector. So can many others, but being able to connect all the different components is another matter. This is where Denmark makes a difference.
