TALLINNA LINNAS TEKKIVATE OLMEJÄÄTMETE TAASKASUTAMISE TÕHUSTAMISE UURING PARIMATE PRAKTIKATE NÄITEL
This 2014 report by the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI Tallinn), commissioned by the Tallinn Environmental Department, analyzes the municipal solid waste (MSW) management system in Tallinn. It evaluates waste volumes, composition, and the effectiveness of separate collection systems for packaging, bio-waste, paper, textiles, and bulky waste. The report compares different waste management models and uses life-cycle assessment (LCA) to determine the environmental impact of various treatment scenarios, including mass incineration and mechanical-biological treatment (MBT).

Environmental assessment and sustainable management options of leachate and landfill gas treatment in Estonian municipal waste landfills
This research paper uses the WAMPS life-cycle assessment model to compare leachate and landfill gas (LFG) treatment technologies in Estonian municipal landfills. It finds that reverse osmosis outperforms aerobic-activated sludge for leachate treatment and argues that improving LFG collection for energy recovery is more beneficial than flaring, as energy recovery can offset more environmental impact than the direct greenhouse gas emissions produced.
