A common system for easier sorting
The national symbol and labelling system makes waste sorting uniform, simple and clear. The system is based on common colours and symbols used in households, at recycling centres and on packaging.
Clear labelling reduces the risk of mis-sorting and allows more materials to be recycled correctly, contributing to a more efficient use of resources.
- Clarity: Colours and symbols clearly show how waste should be sorted.
- National system: Standardised colours and symbols facilitate correct sorting across the country.
- Correct sorting: Helps avoid errors and ensures that materials are recycled correctly.
- Sustainability: UV-laminated signs and decals that withstand weather and wear for long life.
