Waste labelling for source separation

Our waste labelling signs and stickers are part of the national symbol and signage system and make sorting clear, simple and consistent. 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 ensures that more materials are sorted correctly, contributing to increased recycling and more efficient use of resources.

Waste labelling in Sweden

Waste labelling makes it easy to sort waste correctly and manage it safely and efficiently. Clear labelling with symbols and colours makes it easy to identify which waste should be sorted where. Waste labelling is an important part of the work towards a more sustainable and circular economy. By labelling waste stations, bins and areas correctly, you reduce the risk of incorrect sorting and create better conditions for recycling and resource-efficient management.
In Sweden, a national system developed by Avfall Sverige is used, where standardised symbols represent different waste fractions. The system is designed to create uniformity regardless of location, which facilitates correct sorting and contributes to increased recycling.
