This report presents the results of sorting analyses with household waste, collected after separate collection at source in the municipality of Breda and form part of a pilot project, called "Model Breda". The main purpose of this project is to achieve a more extended reduction of the amount of household (packaging) waste by separate collection at source, as mentioned in the Packaging Convention, an agreement between the Government and the packaging industry. In two pilot districts of Breda (Linie-Doornbos and Boeimeer, 3,700 households) household waste is collected in four different fractions: a putrescible fraction (garden-, fruit- and vegetable waste: "GFT"). - a paper/cardboard-fraction - a packaging fraction of plastics, metals and drink-packaging (laminated cardboard) - a residual fraction. Of each fraction one sample was taken in low-rise buildings and the other sample in high-rise buildings. These eight fractions were analysed on the composition, purity and response.
