Analysis of the collection efficiency for packaging waste published
On the basis of existing sorting analyses, the efficiency of different collection systems for light packaing (LVP) and non-packaging from the same material (StNVP) was analyzed and compared. During its implementation, special emphasis was placed on the utilization of the fractions plastics, metals and composites. Following collection arrangements were investigated: ’ 'Yellow bin’ (urban and rural), Recyclables bin (urban and rural), ‘Yellow sack’ (rural), Recyclables sack (rural), Depot container without non-packaging from the same material (StNVP), Recycling centre without StNVP (as the main system). As a result, proposals to optimize the collection arrangements and sorting were developed. News (pic + link + pdf)

Guidelines for grid-connected power generation projects using solid waste in Viet Nam published
In 2017 INTECUS and a Vietnamese cooperation partner were hired by GIZ to develop "Guidelines for grid-connected power generation projects using solid waste in Viet Nam". The guideline describes all steps necessary for the permission, planning and construction of a Waste-to-Energy plant including the grid-connection. The project was funded by MOIT/GIZ Energy Support Programme. The results have been dicussed in the frame of a workshop in Hanoi on August 17th, 2017.

Best Practice Municipal Waste Management
The need to curb natural resources depletion and climate change and secure a healthy living space for an ever growing human society has become a global challenge which increases the demand to minimise waste generation and manage arising wastes effectively and sustainably on a worldwide scale. This task applies to all countries independently from their status of development. Many countries are therefore faced with the necessity to initiate a process of transformation from the conventional scheme of waste disposal through simple dumping or landfilling towards the gradual implementation of a closed loop management of their wastes.INTECUS by order of the Federal Environmental Agency has elaborated an information pool on approaches towards a sustainable design of municipal waste management and supporting technologies and equipment in six languages.
