Summary
When not recording a podcast or studying Sofie works at a recycling central. Today she invites her classmate and colleague Jenny to teach Rasmus (and you of course!) about recycling and how we should think about waste. What really goes on at a recycling central and how is it to work there? // One thing we'd like to point out is that sorting mirrors (mentioned in the episode) should be done according to the local practises. In Linköping they are regarded as 'Landfill' and in Uppsala as "Furniture" that then goes to further sorting. /// Further Resources: Tekniska Verken Sorting Guide (in Swedish) - https://www.tekniskaverken.se/miljo/sortera/sorteringsguide/ // Recycling in Sweden (in English) - https://sweden.se/nature/the-swedish-recycling-revolution/ // Other Waste Statistics (in Swedish) - https://www.naturvardsverket.se/Sa-mar-miljon/Mark/Avfall/ - https://www.scb.se/hitta-statistik/sverige-i-siffror/miljo/hushallens-avfall-i-sverige/ - https://www.scb.se/hitta-statistik/sverige-i-siffror/miljo/atervinning-av-forpackningar-i-sverige/ // Circular Economy in the EU (in English) - https://ec.europa.eu/environment/circular-economy/ /// Social Media: Facebook @sustuspodcast // Twitter @sustuspodcast // Instagram @sustain.us /// Sustain Us Theme: Composition by Joshua Wat // Arrangement and Production by Rasmus Sihvonen /// Artwork by Charlie Chan // Logo typeface by Luce de Groot /// Thank you Navitas Platform for supporting this podcast!
