Challenges
Waste sorting rules differ across municipalities in Norway, creating confusion and inconsistency for citizens trying to dispose of waste correctly.
As sustainability initiatives scale nationally, the lack of a unified system leads to:
Difficulty finding accurate, location-based sorting information
Inconsistent communication across municipalities
Increased incorrect waste disposal
Lower recycling efficiency
Poor user experience across fragmented solutions
To support national environmental goals, Loop needed a centralized, scalable platform capable of delivering clear, localized waste sorting guidance to citizens across the country.
Additionally, the platform needed to:
Handle diverse and evolving municipal data
Provide intuitive search and decision support
Scale to nationwide usage
Be accessible for a broad audience
Sortere.no is not just a user-facing tool — it is a centralized data platform for waste sorting guidance across Norway. Prosit helped build a system that serves both citizens and the broader ecosystem.
