Minister of Climate Kristen Michal said in a press release that the changes will help save natural resources and boost Estonia&#8217;s competitiveness.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Estonia generates around 16,000 tons of textile waste every year, which is 17 kilos per person. Currently, only 22 percent of that is collected separately for re-use or recycling. The rest is incinerated, landfilled or sent to developing countries. Regulating the textiles industry will provide new business opportunities for companies and better quality, longer-lasting products for people,&#8221; the minister said.<\/p>\n<p>If the measures are implemented, the amount of textile waste is estimated to be reduced by 10 percent per year, reducing environmental impacts and greenhouse gas emissions in Europe by around 3.9 million tons and underpinning the &#8216;polluter pays&#8217; principle. Estonia proposes setting separate targets for reducing food waste in the trade and catering sector, and in households. The goal is to reduce food waste in these three sectors by 30 percent compared to the levels generated in 2020. However, Estonia does not support setting a separate target for reducing food waste in primary production and believes that the target set for the food industry is overly ambitious. It is important to consider the inevitable generation of food waste and keeping the proportion of food loss minimal.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.baltictimes.com\/estonia_presents_proposals_on_reducing_textile__food_waste\/\">Baltic Times<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/4-471\/\">Estonia presents proposals on reducing textile, food waste<\/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":[575,4812,815,1297],"class_list":["post-125134","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-estonia","tag-food","tag-textile"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125134","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=125134"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125134\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=125134"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=125134"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=125134"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
