In Helsingborg, we\u2019re not only working to reduce and recycle today\u2019s waste, we\u2019re also exploring how we can mine an old landfill\u00a0to extract valuable resources suitable for re-use and recycling. At the same time, we\u2019re removing pollutants that can leach back into the environment, while also freeing up valuable land. Since 2017, excavating and sorting machines have been busy digging out and sorting the masses \u2013\u00a0so far about 6,000 tons, an amount equivalent in size and weight to about 50 giant blue whales. From this, we\u2019ve looked into the separation of, among other things, iron and other metals for recycling, construction materials for re-use, and burnable materials for incineration to create energy and district heating. Recently, we had a major project in Helsingborg where we tried mining a particular landfill, a site where filling stopped in 2003. This masses lie on top of an older landfill that was started in 1951. The old landfill consists of around 11 million cubic metres of waste, making it one of the largest household waste landfills in Sweden. We\u2019re testing, for example, how good different types of sieves \u2013 usually used for material such as garden waste and stone \u2013 are at handling waste.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough both studying the subject and working on site, my commitment to this issue is constantly growing. It\u2019s hopeful to explore how we can extract the valuable resources buried in our old landfills \u2013 both to reduce the environmental impact of our waste and to understand and calculate the immense value we have in our landfills.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n
