What is Waste Composition Analysis?
Waste Composition Analysis (WCA) is a systematic process to identify and quantify the types of materials in a waste stream. By sorting, categorising, and measuring components, WCA creates a reliable data profile to guide decisions in waste management, recycling, and energy-from-waste operations.
Why Waste Composition Analysis Matters
A comprehensive WCA provides detailed insights that help you optimise operations and make informed decisions:
- Optimised Resource Recovery: Identify valuable and recyclable materials to improve sorting and recovery efficiency.
- Performance Monitoring: Understand input composition to better manage emissions in energy-from-waste facilities.
- Strategic Planning: Use accurate data to design effective recycling programs or sustainability initiatives.
- Regulatory Compliance: Generate verifiable data to meet national and international reporting standards.
