♻ Fortum Recycling & Waste's metal recycling services produces sustainable and responsible steel as a raw material for steel mills, both in Finland and around the world. ⚙ In the steel industry, the raw material of a metal product forms a significant part of its carbon footprint. Fortum Recycling & Waste's efficient recycling process meets the requirements of responsible recycling and minimizes the environmental impact. The mechanical recycling process captures almost 100% of the recycled metal and refines it into raw material. 🙋♂️ If you want to learn more about our sustainable metal products, contact our team: https://lnkd.in/d2cyQmHC

🌍 Today, August 1st is #EarthOvershootDay. The day when demand on nature’s resources surpasses Earth’s capacity to regenerate them for the given year.

We are working together with our customers to find solutions for their environmental and waste challenges to enable circularity of materials. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gm7fax7f

On 5 June, millions of people around the world will celebrate the UN's World Environment Day. Since 1973, the UN has supported environmental efforts and the power of governments, businesses and individuals to create a more sustainable world. This year’s Environment Day focuses on land restoration, desertification and drought resilience - the last two may not be the most prevalent challenges in the Nordic countries. However, over five decades already, Fortum Recycling & Waste has contributed to a sound balance of nature by, for example, removing more than 10 million tonnes of hazardous waste from the cycle and carrying out soil remediation projects in Finland, Sweden and Denmark. A big CHEER to Environment Day 2024 - let's keep up the good work together! 🍀 https://lnkd.in/dtCfWs4R

Fortum Recycling & Waste ja pakkaustuottajayhteisö Sumi Oy ja ovat sopineet laajamittaisesta yhteistyöstä muovipakkausten kierrätyksen vauhdittamiseksi. ♻ Sumi aikoo rakentaa muovipakkausten lajittelulaitoksen Riihimäelle ja Fortum keskittyy jatkossa kierrätysmuovituotteiden valikoiman laajentamiseen. Jatkossa Suomessa voidaan lajitella muovipakkauksia jopa 50 000 tonnia vuodessa. Suunniteltu investointi nostaa samalla lajittelu- ja kierrätysastetta kohti EU:n asettamia tavoitteita. "Uskomme, että tällä yhteistyömallilla voimme parhaiten tehostaa kotimaista muovinkierrätystä. Sumin lajittelulaitos lajittelee muovit, jotka me pesemme ja granuloimme uusioraaka-aineeksi. Näin pääsemme keskittymään Fortum Circo -uusiomuovin valmistukseen ja suuntaamaan toimintaa tuoteperheen laajentamiseksi. Markkinoilla on kysyntää laadukkaille ja räätälöidyille uusiomuovimateriaaleille”, Fortumin muoviliiketoiminnan johtaja Toni Ahtiainen kertoo.
