Waste Sorting 2026: Why Quality is the Key to Circular Economy
The Analysis: The Invisible Cost of Error
If 2025 was a record-breaking year for the quantity of waste collected, 2026 must be the year of purity. For an environmental analyst, a kilogram of sorted plastic does not always hold the same value. The presence of “foreign fractions” (impurities) can decrease the value of secondary raw materials by up to 40%.
Sorting waste incorrectly is not just an ecological mistake; it is a direct economic cost borne by the community. The challenge for the new year is to transform every citizen into a “materials expert,” eliminating all doubts at the moment of disposal.
