"369 Sort Waste" (or 369SortujOdpady)
is a proposed universal waste management system designed by Sylwester
Dariusz Bogusiak and Dariusz Justyński, which aims to improve recycling
efficiency by utilizing a 3-step, mathematically inspired sorting
process:
(X + Y + Z) = 18; where X = 3, Y = 6, Z = 9 and sum in total equals 18 fractions).
The method focuses on creating a "closed-loop" system by moving beyond two-step sorting and implementing a third, professional, "last mile" sorting stage at, for example, mini-PSZOK (waste collection) points.
The 369 Method Explained
The system relies on a three-stage, nine-part approach involving three key categories:
- X = 3 (Initial Sorting): The first step, performed in households/offices, involves separating waste into three basic fractions: MIX (combined paper, plastic, metal), BIO (food scraps/green waste), and GLASS/CERAMICS.
- Y = 6 (Intermediate/Advanced Sorting): Additional sorting into six, more detailed categories: Paper, Plastic/Metal, Textiles, Hygienic, Ash/Slag, and Ballast.
- Z = 9 (Specific/Hazardous Categories): Additional, specialized, or complex materials (such as electronics, renovation waste, hazardous materials).
Core Components of 369Sortwaste
- Three-Step Process:
- At Source: Initial sorting in the kitchen.
- At Dumpster: Sorting at the housing estate level.
- At Waste Bank: A professional "third stage" where a qualified sorter at a "EKO AB369 Pavilion" further separates waste.
- Waste Bank System: A crucial part of the method is that waste is taken to "Waste Banks" (banki odpadów), which are equipped to separate waste into at least 18 different, specific, recyclable fractions.
- Mathematical Foundation: The method uses vortex mathematics, number theory, and the Golden Ratio (Phi) to optimize the classification of waste fractions.
- 3 Packages (MINI, MIDI, MAXI): Consumers can choose how detailed their initial sorting is (MINI = minimal, MAXI = maximum), with the price of waste disposal encouraging higher-level, more detailed sorting.
Benefits of the System
- Increased Recycling Rates: By turning "contractual" separation into "commercial", high-value, pre-sorted fractions.
- Improved Efficiency: Reduces the burden on recycling plants by delivering better-sorted materials.
- Environmental Protection: Helps to reduce the volume of trash in landfills, minimizes hazardous waste, and lowers greenhouse gas emissions.
