Provincial Waste Management Plan Styria - 2005
The volumes of residual and bulky waste volumes have been significantly reduced since the Styrian
waste management associations introduced the extensive collection of waste glass, waste paper,
waste metal, and biogenic waste. Additionally packaging materials made from plastic and composite
materials have been collected separately from residual waste since 1993 due to the persistent
implementation of the Packaging Ordinance 17 and have to a large extent been recovered.
In addition to the separately collected recoverable municipal waste (waste materials) mentioned
above, the waste types listed in Table 4 are collected in communal collection facilities in Styria:
[kg/inhab/year] 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003

Street sweepings are collected via separate municipal collection structures (communal street cleaning)
or by external partners. They are recovered wherever possible.
3.2.1 Mixed municipal waste (residual waste)
The residual waste volume was successfully reduced significantly from 182.8 kg/inhabitant in 1991 to
113.8 kg/inhabitant in 2003 (by approx. 39%, see Fig. 7) due to separate collection and recovery of
waste materials, packagings, and biogenic municipal waste.
