Visit a recycling centre

Duration: 1-1.5 hours

When you visit one of our recycling centres, we organize the content of the visit to match your interests.

We take the waste hierarchy as a starting point and, depending on your interests, delve into technical or societal aspects and dilemmas of waste management.

The visit itself

The students walk around the entire site with stops at selected containers. Here we immerse ourselves in each type of waste. For example, how do we handle plastic waste once you have delivered it? How and to what extent is the waste recycled?
