On October 14, 2025, LACISE project representatives Anzelms Zukuls, Ņikita Griščenko, Daniels Jurjevs, Raitis Sika, and Rendijs Ronis visited Eco Baltia vide’s Resource Management Center in Riga. They were welcomed by Kristaps Dreimanis, Head of the Sales Department, and Vents Kārkliņš, Production Manager. The visit aimed to learn about sorting processes for household waste containing aluminum, understand its composition, and explore potential recycling pathways. The LACISE team received an in-depth tour of the waste sorting line and discussed the technical aspects of material selection and preparation for research purposes.
A key outcome of the visit was the formalization of a collaboration between the LACISE project and SIA Eco Baltia vide. This partnership will grant the project access to sorted, aluminum-containing household waste, materials that are particularly valuable for experiments and analyses requiring representative aluminum-rich fractions. This milestone marks a significant step toward practical industry collaboration, enabling access to real-world materials and supporting sustainable research endeavors.

Moving forward, the teams will define the scope, material sampling protocols, and data-sharing arrangements to maximize the value of the partnership for LACISE’s research objectives. Bridging research with industry through such collaborations enhances our ability to study aluminum sorting and recycling in real waste streams, driving progress toward more sustainable waste management solutions.
