MUNICIPAL WASTE EUROPE and the Nordic waste management associations are strong proponents of adopting the Nordic pictogram system as the primary method for waste sorting across Europe. We are hopeful that the ongoing JRC research will support the adoption of this system as the most effective way to harmonize packaging labeling within the EU and, ideally, encourage its application to future waste streams as well. We can show proof that it works! Circular Denmark Suomen Kiertovoima ry @samband.is #waste #avfall #Eupicto #svpol #EU
The Nordic pictogram system, which was initially developed in Denmark, in 2017, has proven to be a highly successful #wastemanagement solution. Its implementation in other Nordic countries has further reinforced its already significant potential for promoting #wastesorting and disposal in an environmentally #sustainable manner. The project has demonstrated how close collaboration between public and private entities can contribute to the circular transition without negatively impacting citizens' lifestyles, thus improving its public perception. Municipal Waste Europe strongly advocates the adoption of the #Nordicpictogram system as the main reference method for waste sorting in Europe. We hope that ongoing JRC research will support moves to adopt the Nordic pictogram system as the best way to harmonise the labelling of #packaging within the #EU and, hopefully, also encourage its use in future waste streams. 💫 By making waste sorting simple, intuitive, flexible, and convenient, we can become less reliant on certain critical raw materials, more self-sufficient, and more environmentally responsible. Let's work towards a more sustainable future and a more circular economy, valuing waste as a resource and unlocking its tremendous unfulfilled potential.
