The plan would see cities and rural municipalities collect a waste management fee from residents and local companies, just like kindergarten or hobby education fees are collected now. Waste handlers would bill local governments based on previously signed tender contracts. This would free people and companies from having to sign contracts with waste handlers, with the entire process going through the city or rural municipality government.<\/p>\n<p>The rate of recycling of domestic waste has not grown notably in the last decade.CMargus Vetsa, environmental management guest lecturer at Tallinn University, suggested that local governments would do well to address the problem together by delegating it to waste management centers. &#8220;I believe that waste handling should be organized through between four and six such centers, just like public transport outside cities is today,&#8221; Vetsa said.<\/p>\n<p>The EU, including Estonia, has set a goal of recycling at least 55 percent of domestic waste starting from 2025. From 2030, 60 percent of domestic waste needs to be recycled, which will need to grow to 65 percent by 2035. Estonia&#8217;s domestic waste recycling rate has hovered around 30 percent for years, with the remaining domestic waste either incinerated or landfilled.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/news.err.ee\/1609157446\/new-waste-fee-plan-sparks-mixed-feelings-among-experts\">ERR<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/4-427\/\">New waste fee plan sparks mixed feelings among experts<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,4812,6701],"class_list":["post-118604","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-estonia","tag-waste-management"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118604","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=118604"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118604\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=118604"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=118604"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=118604"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
