City Waste Flow Mapping
Following every tonne from bin to final destination — including the leakage.
Waste-flow (material-flow) mapping traces how waste moves from generation through collection, transfer and processing to disposal — and crucially, where it leaks into drains, black spots and informal channels.
- You cannot fix leakage you have not mapped
- It quantifies the recycling gap between generation and recovery
- It is the evidence base for redesigning collection and processing
Where waste flows — and where it leaks
Flow mapping traces every tonne from doorstep to final fate, exposing the leakage points where waste slips out of the system.
