To make it easier to sort sources correctly, a new, national labeling scheme for waste and packaging has been launched. Photo: Loop
The goal is the same labeling on packaging, on cans at home and at work, and in the public space.
The new waste symbols have been prepared by Loop and Avfall Norge in collaboration with over 50 players from both municipal and private companies. The scheme is based on the Danish pictogram system and the goal is for this to become a common Nordic system that makes it easier to sort sources.
You can already see the new symbols on the packaging of several of the products in the grocery store.
You will eventually also find the same symbols at our recycling stations, cans and other waste equipment.
The national labeling scheme contains labels for all types of waste, both those you sort at home and those you find at the recycling station.
Companies that want to use the new symbols must order these directly from the loop. You will find information and forms here: https://sortere.no/avfallssymboler
