In the Eskilstuna municipality, all household solid waste is recycled with optical color sorting since 2011, which is a new way of recycling. Each waste fraction has its own colored recyclable plastic bag and is disposed of in the same garbage bin. By using optical color sorting, house owners are able to sort out organic food waste, plastic, metal and paper packaging, newspapers and household waste. The organic food waste is then used to produce biogas and the other five fractions are recycled and reused. The system of six different fractions is unique of its kind in [[Europe]]. {{W|Eskilstuna_Energy_and_Environment#Environment}} | In the Eskilstuna municipality, all household solid waste is recycled with optical color sorting since 2011, which is a new way of recycling.
