River waste sorting & recycling feasibility study

SweepSmart did a design & feasibility study for an organisation that is collecting waste from a river in Malaysia to develop solutions for sorting and recycling the waste from the river, an extremely difficult waste stream to sort due to its low value and high level of contamination and entanglement.

What's great about it? 

• First of its kind study in semi-mechanised river waste sorting.
• Detailed trials performed on-ground to test different sorting hypotheses.
• Three innovative scenarios for sorting facilities developed to fit with different investment capabilities and appetites.
