jätehuoltosuunnitelma

Jätehuoltosuunnitelma, or waste management plan, is a document required for certain businesses and organizations in Finland. It outlines how a party will manage the waste they generate in accordance with environmental legislation. The purpose of the plan is to ensure that waste is handled in an environmentally sound manner, minimizing its negative impacts on health and the environment.

The specific requirements for a jätehuoltosuunnitelma vary depending on the type and amount of waste produced. Generally, the plan must detail the types of waste, the quantities expected, and the methods for their collection, storage, transport, and final disposal or recovery. It should also identify the parties responsible for each stage of waste management.

Key elements often included in a jätehuoltosuunnitelma are procedures for waste sorting at the source, agreements with licensed waste management service providers, and record-keeping practices. The plan serves as a practical tool for businesses to manage their waste effectively and comply with legal obligations. It promotes waste reduction, reuse, and recycling, aligning with the principles of the circular economy.

Regular review and updating of the jätehuoltosuunnitelma are essential to reflect changes in operations or waste management practices. This ensures its continued relevance and effectiveness in achieving sustainable waste management.
