Transport, sorting and recovery of the municipal share of recyclable waste-bin contents

Summary

Wolfsburg’s municipal waste authority, WAS, is procuring the collection, transport, sorting and recovery of the municipality’s share of mixed recyclable waste from recycling bins, including light packaging and similar non-packaging items. The estimated quantity is approximately 840 tonnes per year, with a possible variation of ±20%; WAS may transport up to 50% itself. The contractor will sort the material, make the liquid-carton fraction available to the dual systems, recover the other sorted fractions and dispose of sorting residues. Services are scheduled to start on 1 January 2027 for one year, with an option to extend for a further year.
