HOW MUCH?

HOW MUCH? Lithuanians each year brings about 3 million tons of various waste in the dumps, nearly half of it are unsorted municipal waste. 1 citizen Lithuania 4-11 kg Over 2,000 tonnes of waste electrical and electronic equipment in Lithuania is still disposed of with other waste every year!

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKES? IS IT DANGEROUS? Waste which contain metal disposed in dumps takes up to 100 years to decompose, and waste with plastic - even over 200 years. Batteries consists at least 22 toxic elements (plastic and metal too). All of these elements can be extracted and used in new batteries and other consumer goods.

WHAT WE CAN DO? • to know; • to get rid of waste in a good way; • to recycle and get secondary raw materials.

to know The waste can not be thrown into the general trash, dumps or be disassembled. We (consumers) are paying for waste management: in Lithuania according to directives of EU is legalized responsibility of producers – importers. They currently have to organize and finance 40 % of the electrical and electronic equipment waste processing.

to get rid of waste in a good way • call free of charge “EMP waste TAXI“ or deliver to buying points; • give away when buying a new one in the shops; • delivered to the bulky waste platforms; • throw in special containers (www.mesk-i-konteineri.lt)

to recycle and get secondary raw materials WILL TAKE CARE OF IT!

Waste sorting situation in Lithuania is not satisfactory ...

... l et’s work together for change.
