Building a new local waste facility to reduce transportation
Volda og Ørsta Reinhaldsverk waste management company is building a new waste facility for organic waste, paper/cardboard, plastic, glass, metal and residual waste.
Today, organic waste is transported to the neighbouring town of Ulsteinvik, where it gets reloaded. By building the new facility in Ørsta/Volda, approximately 22.000 km of driving will be avoided per year.
The office building and changing rooms at the facility will be heated using heat pumps. Minimising waste will be an important aspect of the building process, and the waste that is produced will be reused or recycled. The materials used in the buildings will also be suitable for recycling.
The buildings will have green roofs, which will function as a stormwater basin for precipitation.
