Notes:

* Data collection scope expanded in 2004 to cover all buildings and campuses over 3000 sqm. The figures of 2004 are thus not directly comparable with previous years.
** Even if the total amount of solid waste has increased, Nokia has managed to keep a good level in terms of waste utilization %. In general the reported total waste has increased due to the increase in production volume and headcount.
** Other waste includes fractions that are considered separate from solid waste streams because of their special nature. In 2006 waste categorization was changed a bit and hence part of waste previously reported under Other Waste, is now reported under Solid Waste. That explains the change in figures between 2005 and 2006.
