Abstract

Mixed bulky waste (e.g., sofas, furniture, mattresses, or skis) is part of a waste stream called large municipal solid waste. Mixed bulky waste is a waste stream with a varying composition, e.g., products, materials, and sizes. It is relatively well suited and economically feasible to recycle due to the raw materials it contains. About 40% of these materials are suitable for recycling, which contributes to the circular economy. This chapter describes the state of the art of mechanical, optical, and manual sorting and separation techniques for mixed bulky waste’s fractions.
