kiillotettavat

Killotettavat is a Finnish term that broadly refers to items or materials that can be "kiloted". The word "kilotettavat" is a direct translation of the English phrase "kilotable" or "kilotizable", indicating something that can be measured or quantified in kilograms. However, in common usage, it often carries a more specific connotation related to waste management, recycling, or the collection of materials for processing.

The term is frequently encountered in contexts discussing bulk goods, scrap materials, or items intended for disposal or repurposing. For instance, a company might advertise that they handle "kilotettavat metallit" (kilotable metals), meaning they collect and purchase scrap metal by weight. Similarly, in household waste sorting, certain categories of items might be referred to as "kilotettavat" if they are collected by weight rather than by volume or by count. This distinguishes them from items that are collected by other means, such as standardized recycling bins for paper or plastic.

The concept emphasizes the quantitative aspect of an item, particularly its weight, as the primary factor for its handling, processing, or valuation. It's a functional descriptor rather than a classification of a specific type of material itself, highlighting the method of management or collection.
