See section below
15.4.1. Explanation for any component with a greater than 10 % variation
Material Variation (%) Main reason for variation
Plastic  Recycling in the Member State +48% In 2023, plastic packaging recycling within Latvia increased by 48% compared to 2022. This growth can be explained by higher volumes processed by Latvian plastic recyclers, as well as improvements in the separate collection system for packaging waste. These factors contributed to a higher recycling rate domestically and reduced the need to export waste abroad.
Plastic Recycling outside the EU -29% Recycling of plastic packaging outside the EU decreased by 29% in 2023. This is mainly due to reduced recycling volumes in Ukrainian plants, which was affected by the war started by Russia. Additionally, part of the plastic that had previously been exported outside the EU was instead recycled in Latvia in 2023, reducing the need for non-EU recycling.
Wood Waste generated -14% Companies increasingly use reusable wooden packaging, resulting in a lower volume of new wood packaging placed on the market. This trend may also reflect improved reporting practices—companies now more accurately distinguish between reusable packaging rotation and first-time placement data.
Wood Recycling in the Member State; Recycling Total -21% The decrease in recycling volumes corresponds proportionally to the reduced amount of wooden packaging placed on the market.
Ferrous metal Waste generated -19% Reduced use of tinplate packaging for canned food and beverages, with a shift towards aluminum packaging.
Ferrous metal Recycling in the Member State -19% The decrease in recycling volumes reflects the decline in the amount of ferrous metal packaging placed on the market.
Ferrous metal Recycling in other Member States -100% In 2023, no recycling exports were recorded, as all volumes were recycled domestically in Latvia.
Aluminium Waste generated +24% The increase is linked to greater use of aluminum beverage packaging and changes in packaging material choices by producers.
Aluminium Recycling in the Member State -66% A portion of aluminum recycling was redirected to other EU countries, including Germany and France.
Aluminium  Recycling in other Member States +160%; Recycling total +140% The increase in recycling exports is associated with improved collection and sorting of aluminum packaging, thanks to the introduction of the deposit return system. The system began operating on 1 February 2022, with a six-month transition period. Much of the aluminum packaging sold to consumers was returned later in the year, so the majority was recycled in 2023.
Glass  Recycling in the Member State -39% The decline in glass recycling in Latvia is related to the introduction of the deposit return system in 2022. The system led to a significant increase in the collection of reusable glass packaging, meaning more glass was returned for reuse/refilling rather than sent for recycling. The cleaner glass stream and more efficient logistics encouraged greater recycling in other EU countries.
Glass  Recycling in other Member States +68% The cleaner glass stream and better logistics resulting from the deposit system facilitated an increase in glass recycling in other EU Member States. At the same time, volumes recycled in Ukraine decreased due to the ongoing war.
Paper and cardboard  Recycling in the Member State -21% In 2023, the Latvian recycler SIA Getliņi EKO stopped processing paper packaging. As a result, some volumes previously recycled domestically were sent to other EU countries with higher processing capacity.
Paper and cardboard Recycling outside the EU -62% Due to the global situation, recycling volumes were redirected to EU-based facilities. Recycling in Ukraine declined, and recycling in Russia was discontinued entirely due to the war.

18.3.1. Description of the methodology and verification of data on packaging waste generated in case waste analysis is used
  • Determination of packaging amounts based on waste composition analysis: the calculation is based on data of the amount of municipal waste disposed at landfills and their morphological composition. According to statistic data from National waste management plan for 2021-2028 (source: Table 2.10. Varam website - Atkritumu apsaimniekosanas valsts plans 2021-2028) packaging waste accounts for 21.8% of unsorted municipal waste.
  • The calculated quantity from waste analysis was exceed the amount of unrecovered packaging waste for which companies are submitted reports to SES, therefore the total amount of packaging waste generated (put on the market) was adjusted respectively.
  • That correction for total volume of packaging waste based on waste composition was a separate consideration to the adjustment for free riders.
18.3.2. Description of the methodology to report on composite packaging

The amount (proportion) of the packaging of composite materials has been calculated for each material included in the packaging. Derogation from the requirement: if the amount of the particular material does not exceed 5 % of the total mass of the packaging unit.

Additional information about the methodology, including the combination of methods used:

 State Environmental Service (SES) sums up data collected from extended producer responsibility schemes (EPR) together with an administrative reporting and the grey sector indicator (free riders).
Data sources for statistics on packaging:

  1. Reports of EPR to SES: must submit verified reports (audited by independent auditor) on collection and recycling/regeneration data;
  2. Reports of companies to State Revenue Service: calculation of volume of packaging waste generated by companies which generated less than 300 kg of packaging waste per year (the amount of natural resources tax paid and tax rates of packaging material);
  3. Reports of companies to SES: companies which generate more than 300 kg of packaging waste in the year and manage their packaging waste themselves (not concluding a contract with a corresponding EPR company) hand in reports on generated and recovered quantities of packaging waste;
  4. Determination of packaging amounts on the basis of waste composition analysis: the calculation is based on data of the amount of municipal waste disposed at landfills and their morphological composition. If the calculated quantity is exceed the amount of unrecovered packaging waste for which companies are submitted reports to SES, the total amount of packaging waste generated (put on the market) is adjusted). In particular, the fourth figure is needed to check whether any quantity of packaging may not be reported in the first three ways. And the amount of these four figures is included in the report.
  5. The potential correction for total volume of packaging waste based on waste composition is a separate consideration to the adjustment for free riders.

State Environmental Service (SES) sums up data collected from extended producer responsibility schemes (EPR) together with an administrative reporting and the grey sector indicator (free riders).
Data sources on packaging placed on the market:

  1. Reports of EPR to SES: must submit verified reports (audited by independent auditor) on collection and recycling/regeneration data;
  2. Reports of companies to State Revenue Service: calculation of volume of packaging waste generated by companies which generated less than 300 kg of packaging waste per year (the amount of natural resources tax paid and tax rates of packaging material);
  3. Reports of companies to SES: companies which generate more than 300 kg of packaging waste in the year and manage their packaging waste themselves (not concluding a contract with a corresponding EPR company) hand in reports on generated and recovered quantities of packaging waste;
  4. Determination of packaging amounts on the basis of waste composition analysis: the calculation is based on data of the amount of municipal waste disposed at landfills and their morphological composition. If the calculated quantity is exceed the amount of unrecovered packaging waste for which companies are submitted reports to SES, the total amount of packaging waste generated (put on the market) is adjusted). In particular, the fourth figure is needed to check whether any quantity of packaging may not be reported in the first three ways. And the amount of these four figures is included in the report.

The potential correction for total volume of packaging waste based on waste composition is a separate consideration to the adjustment for free riders.
