Developed by geoFluxus between August 2024 and December 2025, Afvalprofiel 2.0 is an AI-powered platform that helps organisations gain deep insight into their waste streams and identify higher-value circular processing opportunities.
Despite growing efforts to transition towards a circular economy, many organisations traditionally lacked access to reliable information about the composition, destination, and processing potential of their waste. Afvalprofiel 2.0 solved 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 has accelerated the transition towards a circular economy by:
- Integrating waste management directly into organizational 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 was developed by geoFluxus in collaboration with AMS Institute and successfully validated through a Living Lab in cooperation with the Municipality of Amsterdam. Today, the platform enables organisations to thoroughly understand their waste streams, increase recycling and material recovery rates, and create economic value from materials that would otherwise be discarded.
Key Achievements & Deliverables:
- Advanced Classification: Greatly improved waste stream classification through AI-driven analysis.
- Localized Insights: Better visibility into local circular processing opportunities.
- Streamlined Reporting: More effective reporting and monitoring of waste and circularity performance.
- Resource Optimization: Measurable increases in the reuse, recycling, and valorisation of material streams.
- Urban Solutions: Proven, practical solutions deployed for complex urban circular economy challenges.
Funding & Collaboration
The Afvalprofiel 2.0 project ran from August 2024 until December 2025. It was supported by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF/EFRO) through the Kansen voor West III programme and received co-financing from the Province of North Holland under the Innovatie-AL scheme.
