Amestop OÜ

What Amestop OÜ does

Amestop OÜ is an Estonian private limited company that operates Tormaprügila (Torma landfill), one of only five fully environmentally compliant landfills in Estonia, under a 25.63-hectare site (approximately 11 ha developed) in Võtikvere village, Mustvee vald, Jõgevamaa. Originally founded in 2000 with the landfill opening in 2001, Amestop transitioned from contractual operator to full owner of the site in 2013 via a public tender. The company holds environmental complex permit KKL 317215 and EMAS environmental management certification through August 2026, and has progressively expanded its territory through state-tender land acquisitions in 2017-2018 (5.33 ha) and 2020 (14.11 ha). It serves as a regional waste-management hub for Jõgeva County and the broader South and Southeast Estonia catchment following the 2009 closure of non-compliant landfills.

The company provides integrated waste-management services including municipal waste collection, processing, recycling, and disposal; construction and demolition waste processing; full demolition contracting across Estonia; excavation and earthworks (Kobelco excavator, CAT D6K bulldozer); multilift container rental and transport (Volvo and Scania trucks); and operation of nine regional waste collection stations across Alatskivi, Jõgeva city, Jõgeva alevik, Kuremaa, Laiuse, Mustvee, Palamuse, Siimusti, and Vaimastvere. Technical infrastructure includes a MAVITEC bio-waste depackaging line (2022) producing biogas feedstock, an ENVICONT 2000 Category III bio-waste hygienizer (≥70°C for ≥60 minutes), a 13,000 m² asphalted composting facility, reverse osmosis leachate treatment, a landfill gas collection-and-combustion system (2011-2012), and a 50 kW solar power plant (2020).

Revenue is generated almost entirely through transaction-based, pay-as-you-go fees: per-ton waste-disposal tariffs (e.g., €300/ton for unsorted waste, €10-€195/ton for construction and demolition materials, €0 for sorted recyclables), container rental (€5/day short-term or €50/month long-term plus kilometer charges), distance/time-based transport tariffs (€1.40/km or €1.10/min), and demolition project contracts. Customer segments span municipalities (Mustvee, Jõgeva, Peipsiääre vald through MTÜ Ida-Eesti Jäätmehoolduskeskus cooperation), agricultural producers, construction and demolition contractors, and the long tail of individual households served via the nine waste collection stations. The go-to-market is direct: physical stations, phone, email, and the company website (tormaprugila.ee). The leadership team comprises a Managing Director (Aivar Lõhmus, since April 2019), a Board Member (Toomas Orumaa), a Technology and Operations Manager (Veiko Allingu), an Environmental Manager (Jargo Jürgens), and supporting site and finance staff.

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Indaver: European hazardous and industrial waste treatment specialist operating treatment and disposal facilities. Comparable in waste treatment infrastructure and EU regulatory expertise; Amestop's asbestos handling makes this a partial match for hazardous waste capabilities.
• Ragn-Sells: Major Nordic-Baltic waste management operator with established Estonian presence. Directly comparable in collection, transport, and disposal services, though with significantly broader geographic scope and scale than Amestop's regional focus.
• Cleanaway: Australasian waste management major with growing European footprint. Comparable in solid waste collection, transfer, and disposal operations, though operating in different geographies.
• Renewi: Western European waste-to-products company operating across the UK, Netherlands, and Belgium. Comparable in landfill operations, recycling, and waste-to-energy infrastructure; serves as a benchmark for circular-economy transition potential.
• Veolia Eesti (Veolia Estonia): Global waste management and environmental services major operating in Estonia. Comparable across the full waste value chain (collection, treatment, disposal, recycling) with much larger scale and capital base.

Direct peers

• Eesti Keskkonnateenused AS: One of Estonia's largest domestic waste management operators running landfills, transfer stations, and collection services. Most direct peer for Amestop in Estonian-compliant landfill operations and municipal contracts.
• Ekovir: Estonian waste management and recycling company focused on construction/demolition waste and metal recycling. Highly comparable to Amestop's construction/demolition waste processing and demolition services lines.

Regional players

• EcoBaltia: Baltic environmental services and waste management platform with operations across Latvia and Estonia. Comparable integrated waste management offering and regional Baltic focus, though larger and more diversified than Amestop.
• Tallinna Jäätmekeskus: Tallinn-region waste management center handling municipal solid waste collection and treatment. Comparable services but serves the capital region rather than South/Southeast Estonia, so non-overlapping geography.

Others

• MTÜ Eesti Jäätmekäitlejate Liit: Estonian Waste Management Operators Association — industry body representing licensed waste operators. Relevant ecosystem peer signaling the regulatory and competitive landscape Amestop operates within.
