Under the so-called Kringbouw project in the Netherlands, which aims to close the material loop in the construction sector, researchers at the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands have studied advantages and disadvantages of different separation techniques: wind screens, ballistic separators, inclined screens and colour separation.
International Wastenews, Waste Centre Denmark no. 1, 2005 reports that the study focused on a combination of dry separation and automatic separation. The conclusion was that it is not possible to say that one technique is superior to others, but that it depends on a weighing between different factors such as economy, capacity, markets for the product, need for coordination with already existing treatment plants and whether it is expedient to classify a given fraction narrowly.
Against this background, the study forms the basis for future tailor-made techno-economic analyses of specific treatment plants. In connection with the follow-up on the project it is planned in the coming years to make full-scale pilot tests for demonstration of automatic separation of construction and demolition waste

Egypt reviews Red Sea waste management system – Dailynewsegypt
Egypt’s Minister of Local Development and Environment, Manal Awad, and Red Sea Governor Walid El-Barqi held an extensive meeting to review the performance of the governorate’s waste management system and discuss measures to improve environmental services and operational efficiency. The meeting, held during Awad’s visit to the Red Sea Governorate to mark World Environment Day, focused on assessing current challenges facing waste collection, sorting, recycling and disposal operations, as well as identifying priority actions to strengthen the system’s performance. Awad stressed that the government places significant importance on developing an integrated waste management system in the Red Sea Governorate, given its strategic importance as one of Egypt’s leading tourism destinations. She emphasized the need to comply with environmental and technical standards governing sanitary landfills, waste treatment facilities and environmentally sound disposal practices. During the meeting, officials reviewed the current status of waste management operations in Hurghada, including collection, transportation, sorting, recycling and final disposal activities. Discussions also covered the infrastructure upgrades required to improve system efficiency and ensure the proper operation of sanitary landfill facilities. Yasser Abdullah, head of Egypt’s Waste Management Regulatory Authority, presented updates on temporary waste collection and sorting sites and outlined measures to strengthen operational management and oversight. He highlighted the importance of improving monitoring mechanisms for waste handling activities and maximizing the recovery of recyclable materials while reducing informal and unregulated practices.
