<p>According to the European Union waste hierarchy, waste should first of all be minimized. Reuse and material and energy recycling come next. Lastly the waste should be thrown at the refuse tip. In the inner city of Stockholm waste handling can be done in various types of ways. The solutions vary as a result of the type of architecture of the building and its condition. Waste handling in the inner city of Stockholm works relatively well and there is a will among people to recycle and to sort out their waste, however it must be as easily accessible as possible. From a cost and working environment perspective there are more efficient solutions especially for buildings with an inner yard where there is a long and narrow distance for the refuse collectors. A longer distance will result in a higher fee for waste handling. What could be done is to look over current rooms, if there are better, more cost efficient solutions. There is a problem with the lack of space in the buildings. Other solutions could be to invest in recycling stations underground or disposers. This would give an initial cost but it would pay in the long run and it would also give a better opportunity to use food waste which is currently relatively limited in the inner city of Stockholm. To give people the possibility to use their waste is an important part in implementing the European Union waste hierarchy.</p>

Studien fokuserar på att identifiera utmaningar och lösningar för hantering av hyresgästernas avfallhos fastighetsägaren, Rikshem. Arbetet att identifiera och undersöka Rikshems utmaningar medavfallshantering på nationell nivå baserades på intervjuer med olika medarbetare i bolaget samtundersökning av kostnader och andra interna dokument. Tre utmaningar identifierades: felsortering,översopor samt nedskräpning och dumpning av grovavfall. Orsakerna och konsekvenserna till dessautmaningar sammanställdes. Intervjuerna med andra fastighetsägare bekräftades utmaningarna somåterkommande hos fastighetsägare i vissa av deras områden. I syfte att lösa dessa problem identifierades olika lösningar från intervjuerna och delades upp ipraktiska och strategiska lösningar med hjälp av tematisk analys. Lösningarna undersöktes senareutifrån Rikshem hållbarhetskompass. De strategiska lösningarna som att ta fram mål och vision samtsammanställa kostnader rekommenderades att utföras på bolagsnivå. De praktiska lösningarnainkluderar bland annat olika former av miljöhus, tekniska lösningar i form av TV-skärmar, sensoreroch kärlpress, alternativ för grovsoprum, personlig service och nudging. Dessa lösningar måstedäremot undersökas vidare då de utförs utifrån varje områdes enskilda förutsättningar och behov. / The study focuses on identifying challenges and solutions for managing tenants' waste living inRikshem’s houses. The work to identify and investigate Rikshem's challenges with waste managementat the national level was based on interviews with various employees in the company as well as anexamination of other internal documents. Three challenges were identified: incorrect sorting,overloaded waste containers and dumping of bulky waste. The causes and consequences of thesechallenges were compiled. The interviews with other property owners confirmed that these challengesrecur with other property owners. In order to solve these problems, different solutions from the interviews were identified and dividedinto practical and strategic solutions using thematic analysis. The solutions were later examined basedon Rikshem's sustainability compass. The strategic solutions such as developing goals and vision andcompiling costs were recommended to be carried out at a company level. The practical solutionsinclude various forms of environmental houses, technical solutions in the form of TV screens, sensorsand container-press, alternatives for bulky waste rooms, personal service and nudging. Thesesolutions, on the other hand, must be further investigated as they would be carried out on the basis ofeach area's individual conditions and needs.Keyword
