The design of a grinder system to separate organic waste in new Amsterdam high-rise buildings with a sustainable post-life for a circular economy

Transition from a linear use of resources and waste production to circular flows with sustainable management of resources, will allow cities to increase sustainability in social, economic and ecological ways for future generations. This thesis concludes that in order to reach a circular waste management system, an instructional communication to be used within the current scope and a redesigned food waste grinder within a fully circular flat would be needed.
