2013 Eestis tekkinud segaolmejäätmete, eraldi kogutud paberi- ja pakendijäätmete ning elektroonikaromu koostise uuring

This report presents the results of a composition study of mixed municipal waste, separately collected paper and packaging waste, and electronic waste in Estonia conducted between August 2012 and May 2013. The study aimed to analyze waste composition across different regions and settlement types to evaluate the effectiveness of collection systems and the awareness of the population.

• The average composition of mixed municipal waste in Estonia for 2012/2013 showed that biodegradable waste was the largest component at 48%, followed by packaging waste at 28.5%, and plastics at 18.1%.
• Compared to a previous study from 2007/2008, there was a significant decrease in the proportion of glass, paper, and biodegradable waste in mixed municipal waste. Specifically, the average share of biodegradable waste dropped from 56% in 2008 to 48% in the current study, and packaging waste decreased from 34.5% to 28.5%.
• Food waste (kitchen waste) constitutes the majority of biodegradable waste, averaging 84.6% of the bio-fraction. The study estimated that wasted food (food loss) accounts for 5.2% to 7.3% of total mixed municipal waste.
• In separately collected paper and cardboard waste, the composition was similar across studied regions, with paper and cardboard packaging accounting for 42.3% to 46.5% and waste paper accounting for 47.0% to 49.8%.
• Separately collected mixed packaging waste consists of approximately 70% packaging materials, with plastic packaging being the largest share at about 45%. Packaging with deposit systems accounted for approximately 5% of the analyzed mass.
• Electronic waste collected at waste stations consists primarily of large household appliances, IT and communication equipment, and consumer equipment, which together average 96% of the total weight. Large household appliances alone make up over half of the collected electronic waste.
