On October 16, the Lilleküla Circular Economy Center (located at Mustjõe 40) was officially opened, marking the first of its kind in both Tallinn and Estonia. The center offers residents the opportunity to sort their waste and repair items.

Today, the Tallinn City Government sent a draft decision to the City Council to rename the Tallinna Jäätmekeskus (Tallinn Waste Center) as the Tallinna Ringmajanduskeskus (Tallinn Circular Economy Center). The name change reflects the shift in focus from waste management to circular economy activities.

This November, Tallinn commenced the construction of its first circular economy center in the Kristiine district, with plans underway for another center on the property at Punane 68a in Lasnamäe.

Tallinn is transforming its existing waste treatment plants into circular economy centers and constructing new ones to provide services that not only involve waste collection but also focus on waste prevention, reduction, and recycling. The first circular economy center, known as the Lilleküla Circular Economy Center, is slated for construction in the Kristiine district at Mustjõe Street 40.
