Currently, there are 38 terminals around Finland.<\/li>\n<li>From the terminals, glass waste is delivered to glass processing plants located in Forssa and Estonia.<\/li>\n<li>Deliveries abroad are transported by sea in large batches.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Glass packaging waste is processed in the processing plants. Impurities are sorted out, and glass waste is sorted by size, cleaned and sorted by colour. After processing, it is raw material for glass packaging factories, where new glass bottles and jars are made from it, as well as some glass construction products, such as foam glass and glass wool. Glass construction products are manufactored in Finland, but the glass raw material is delivered abroad when manufactoring new glass packaging.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Mainly all glass waste is recycled. The use of recycled glass as a raw material for new packaging is environmentally friendly and it reduces the need to use virgin raw materials. One kilogram of glass packaging waste sorted at home reduces greenhouse gases by 0.5 kilograms compared to it being put into mixed waste.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Careful sorting according to Rinki&#8217;s instructions is important for successful recycling. Only glass bottles and jars should be returned to the glass collection container. The color does not matter. For example, drinking glasses, baking dishes, crystal, porcelain or other glass products are not suitable for recycling, because they are not packaging and in many ways hinder the recycling of glass.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Glass packaging waste is turned into<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mostly new glass packaging, i.e. glass bottles and jars<\/li>\n<li>Part of the glass packaging waste is also turned into construction products, such as foam glass.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n                                                            <\/span>\n                                                                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n        <\/details>\n            <details class=\"Element relative border-2 border-custom-green-dark overflow-hidden p-4 lg:p-8 mb-4 last:mb-0 rounded-xl flex flex-col\">\n                            <summary class=\"Title\n                        flex flex-col justify-start\n                        text-black\n                        font-bold\n                        w-[calc(100%-3rem)]\n                        h4\n                    \"\n                    tabindex=\"0\"\n                >\n                    This is how household metal is recycled\n\n                    <div class=\"icon absolute top-8 right-8 accordion-element-trigger accordion-element-trigger--js\">\n                        <div class=\"rotate-90\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 24\">\n  <path id=\"chevron-right-light_5_\" data-name=\"chevron-right-light (5)\" d=\"M80.248,55.775a.856.856,0,0,1-.049-1.211l9.7-10.559L80.2,33.44a.857.857,0,0,1,1.259-1.164L91.743,43.419a.855.855,0,0,1,0,1.164L81.458,55.725A.858.858,0,0,1,80.248,55.775Z\" transform=\"translate(-79.972 -32)\"\/>\n<\/svg>\n<\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/summary>\n            \n            <div class=\"content mt-8 scale-y-0\">\n                                                    <div class=\"flex flex-col justify-center\">\n                                                    <span class=\"Ingress ingress pb-4\">\n                                <p>The quality of metal does not deteriorate in the recycling process, so it can be recycled againg and again.<\/p>\n\n                            <\/span>\n                                                                            <span class=\"Text\n                                text-black\n                                font-normal\n                                pb-4\n                            \">\n                                                                    <p>The small metal sorted at household recycling points is transported to the nearest terminal in Finland.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the terminals, metal waste is sorted and stored.

Producer organisations ensure, on behalf of the packaging producers in Finland, that packaging waste is collected and recycled and finally ends up as new products. They are also responsible for ensuring that the targets set by EU and Finnish legislation for the recycling of packaging are met in Finland, and that the receipt of packaging and related communications are carried out in accordance with the legislation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Rinki takes care of, for example, sorting advice, customer service and sorting communication to citizens on behalf of the producer organisations.
