Waste collection in the municipality of Oss was under pressure: rising costs and the targets of less than 96 kg of residual waste per inhabitant per year and 751 TP3T of waste separation (2020) threatened to be missed. Together with Florens Slob, New Economy mapped out various waste collection scenarios, including their impact on residual waste, separation rate, service level, and costs, as a clear guideline for the municipal council. Sector: circular economy / waste / municipality. Client: Municipality of Oss.
Scenarios for waste collection in Oss
Together with Florens Slob, New Economy developed a decision document that provides insight into the various options for household waste collection. This document incorporated best practices from other municipalities and data on separate waste processing, making it clear which waste collection system is most suitable for Oss. The scenarios offered the municipal council a clear guideline for making a choice.
Less residual waste, more value
By collecting smarter, Oss can simultaneously control costs, increase the separation rate, and recover more valuable raw materials. In this way, waste collection contributes directly to a circular economy in which materials retain their value. Also view our work on circular economy in Flevoland and circular innovation and entrepreneurship in North Holland.
