From waste to raw material - the waste that Sysav receives is processed in one of several ways. Sysav provides sorting, recycling, storage, composting and, as a last resort,  landfilling. These activities take place at our waste sites, located in various parts of southern Scania (Skåne).

A variety of operations go on at the waste sites, for example composting, sorting of bulky waste, chipping of wood, recovery of metals, landfilling et cetera.

The sites were initially designed for landfilling solely, or, in other words, for definitive storage deep down in the ground. At present only a small fraction of waste is landfilled.

Sysav also has other facilities for managing household and commercial waste in the south of Scania.
A combination of methods is used to ensure that the waste is kept and used as a resource in the most eco-friendly way possible. Reuse, various forms of recycling, biological treatment and waste combustion with energy recovery are some examples.
