Waste

Due to the scarcity of raw materials, the waste industry is one of the most dynamic markets of our times. Local utility and disposal infrastructures have long since become a globally interconnected secondary market in natural resources. adelphi advises political decision makers, businesses and donor institutions on matters of innovative waste economics and current issues such as urban mining, applied material flow management, infrastructure planning, technology transfer, disposal logistics, use of biomass and recycling of electrical waste. Various adelphi projects deal with the integration of the informal sector into formal waste management systems. Alongside these issues, we offer our customers training and education programmes, organise study trips and political field analyses as well as the technical analysis of eco-industrial estates and landfills.
