Flanders imposes strict waste processing standards on companies. VITO experts are aware of the very latest legislation and are able to combine this knowledge with their extensive technological background. Thus they can advise you on the optimum configuration of your waste management in order to comply with legal requirements.
A thorough audit of your infrastructure
The Flemish government allows industry to choose between various waste processing technologies currently on the market. But do you know whether you currently fulfil all legal requirements? Our experts will carry out a thorough analysis of your existing infrastructure. They analyse how you can comply with legal obligations with a minimum investment or adjustment of your infrastructure. They also evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of process adjustments which exceed legal requirements.
Sustainability as a major objective
Do you have an innovative idea for new waste processing technology? VITO experts advise you on the development of your own systems in order to process specific waste flows. Thanks to the modern infrastructure at the VITO site, they are able to quickly find a breakthrough. In doing so, they look for the most sustainable solution and ensure that your processing installations will also comply with future legislation. They will also support you during the technical implementation.
Knowing the best processing option
Which is the best processing method for a particular waste flow? To evaluate various waste processing installations/options, VITO has the (self-developed) IAA method (Integral Analysis of Waste Management Techniques) at its disposal. This transparent method compares various (industrial) waste processing methods in terms of environmental impact, energy, material recuperation, operational management and cost price. This provides you with an insight into the advantages and disadvantages of the various processing options.
Examples:
- Comparison of processing options for
- Residual waste
- Waste batteries
- Animal fat and GFVO (used frying fat and oils)
- Evaluation of the fibre cycle process
- …
