Waste is a valuable resource that can be used for recycling to new materials, incineration to produce heat and energy, and fermentation to produce biogas. Waste management in Sweden is a well developed discipline with systems for the sorting of waste by households, at offices, and at industries, and many products are recycled in specialized recycling systems. Over the past decades these systems have been improved and perfected to a level that cannot be matched by many other countries.

A visit program focusing on waste management can include the sorting of waste in households and in special recycling houses in housing areas, the sorting of waste at recycling stations, and the reception of waste of different fractions at incineration plants and at production facilities that use recycled materials as raw material.
Normally, it is possible to make two visits in one day.
