Dry mixture of cardboard packaging, corrugated cardboard, paper, beverage cartons, newspapers, magazines, etc. Cardboard and paper should preferably be sorted by type:
Waste code: 1299
Paper is collected in bags, wheeled bins or containers. Paper for secure shredding must be placed in a lockable container. Cardboard and paper can also be placed in a compactor.
Material recycling.
All cardboard and paper waste must be dry. Moisture can damage the fibres so that the waste cannot be recycled as material.
Businesses generating household-like waste must separate cardboard and paper waste at source and deliver it for material recycling (Norwegian Waste Regulations § 10a).
More thorough sorting may reduce costs.
The waste guide uses technical terms and codes to describe how different types of waste should be identified, classified, and handled. This makes it easier to find the correct waste fraction and comply with requirements for sorting, packaging, and delivery.
