Eeltarbimisjäätmed

Eeltarbimisjäätmed refers to waste generated from the consumption of goods and services prior to their full use or disposal. This category encompasses a broad range of materials that become waste during the initial stages of product lifecycle. Examples include packaging materials, such as plastic wrap, cardboard boxes, and Styrofoam, that are removed before a product can be used. It can also include defective items or samples that are discarded by manufacturers or retailers. Furthermore, eeltarbimisjäätmed can involve materials used in the preparation of food or other consumable items, like food scraps generated during meal preparation before the main course is served, or uneaten portions of meals. The management and reduction of eeltarbimisjäätmed are important aspects of waste management and sustainability efforts, aiming to minimize resource consumption and environmental impact at an early stage. Strategies to address this type of waste often focus on optimizing packaging, reducing overproduction, and encouraging more mindful consumption.
