Waste collection is carried out from households, businesses, and collection or recycling stations in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. Verkís supports the planning and improvement of waste collection systems to make them more efficient, accessible, and sustainable in practice.
Landfills are designated sites for the disposal of waste that cannot be recycled or otherwise recovered. Landfilling must be carried out under operating permits and using methods that minimize environmental impact. Verkís provides consultancy and project support to ensure the safe and professional management of waste at landfill sites.
Various construction materials, such as wood, metals, concrete, and glass, can be recycled or reused to reduce waste generation and lower the carbon footprint of construction projects. Verkís offers guidance on recycling and reuse options for building materials to help meet the requirements of certification schemes such as BREEAM and the Nordic Swan Ecolabel.
Waste management plans ensure proper control and handling of waste generated during construction and operational activities. Through structured planning, it is possible to increase recycling and reuse while reducing landfill disposal, thereby supporting more sustainable and environmentally friendly projects.
