Procurement of laboratory services for testing of bags in the Agency for Waste Management (REN)
REN purchases plastic bags for food waste and plastic packaging after competitions. This contract will ensure that REN purchases bags that are of appropriate quality for waste collection and source sorting.
Robust quality of the bags is decisive for optimal collection and source sorting.
If the bags are not of good enough quality, they will be easily damaged and create loose waste. This will lead to a reduced degree of material recycling. The bag quality has therefore direct influence on Oslo's general aim of 50 % material recycling by 2018.
There have previously been challenges with bag deliveries for food waste and plastic packaging that do not comply with the bag quality requirements. An independent participant is therefore seen as important in order to ensure satisfactory quality in accordance with the contract for future deliveries. The tests will be decisive in the contract follow up with the bag supplier.
In addition consultancy, competence transfer and further development of our employees could be seen as a natural part of the contract.
