Since August 2024, geoFluxus has been developing Afvalprofiel 2.0, an AI-powered platform that helps organisations gain insight into their waste streams and identify higher-value circular processing opportunities.
Despite growing efforts to transition towards a circular economy, many organisations still lack access to reliable information about the composition, destination and processing potential of their waste streams. Afvalprofiel 2.0 addresses this challenge through advanced algorithms, artificial intelligence and data integration technologies that automate the mapping of waste flows and support the identification of optimal processing routes.
The project aims to accelerate the transition towards a circular economy by:
- Making waste management an integral part of organisational decision-making;
- Improving the evaluation and monitoring of circular economy policies;
- Increasing the availability of high-quality secondary material streams for recyclers and processors.
Afvalprofiel 2.0 is being developed by geoFluxus in collaboration with AMS Institute and validated through a Living Lab in cooperation with the Municipality of Amsterdam. The project enables organisations to better understand their waste streams, increase recycling and material recovery rates, and create economic value from materials that would otherwise be discarded.
Expected results include:
- Improved waste stream classification through AI-driven analysis;
- Better insight into local circular processing opportunities;
- More effective reporting and monitoring of waste and circularity performance;
- Increased reuse, recycling and valorisation of material streams;
- Practical solutions for urban circular economy challenges.
The project runs from August 2024 until December 2026.
Funding
Afvalprofiel 2.0 is supported by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF/EFRO) through the Kansen voor West III programme and receives co-financing from the Province of North Holland under the Innovatie-AL scheme.
