Process template: waste sorting plan according to the 10 fractions

How to set up sorting according to waste regulations

§1. Map your 10 fractions

  • 01PLACEHOLDER_6
  • 02PLACEHOLDER_112
  • 03Which of the 10 fractions actually arise at your site, and in what quantities?

§2. Choose containers and allowed combinations

  • 01Should each fraction have its own container or can permitted combinations be used (e.g. paper with cardboard metal with glass or plastic)?
  • 02Are containers sized to the quantities that actually arise?

§3. Furnish the space

  • 01Place containers close to where waste arises — canteen, office, workshop
  • 02Use clear, consistent signage with text and symbols
  • 03Ensure special, safe storage of hazardous waste

§4. Follow up

  • 01Designate a responsible person who regularly checks whether sorting works.
  • 02Right to if waste consistently ends up in wrong bin
  • 03Remember that construction waste and production waste typically follow other, more specific rules than the 10 fractions
