Households in Finland are very keen to sort their waste for appropriate recycling. Over 60 per cent of households sort and recycle several types of waste, while over 90 per cent of households do so with newspapers. At approximately 70 per cent in 2007, the rate of paper recovery for recycling is one of the highest in Europe in Finland. These data derive from Statistics Finland's new publication Environment Statistics Yearbook 2009.
Environment Statistics Yearbook is an annually published general overview of the environment. It contains a collection of statistics describing the effects from human activities on the environment and the actions society has taken to protect it.
The topics covered in this 224-page publication include greenhouse gas emissions and other emissions to air, burdening of waters, waste, agriculture and forestry, total material requirement, transport, energy, environmental taxation, environmental protection expenditure and attitudes of citizens to environmental issues. Apart from data concerning Finland, the Yearbook also contains copious comparison data from other industrialised countries.
The Environment Statistics Yearbook is in two languages, Finnish and English. It is accompanied by a CD-ROM containing all the publication's data in Finnish and English.
