SYKE's five steps for the New Year 2022

Household waste turns into new raw materials

Press release 2021/12/21
SYKE found out where the recyclable waste ends up from the households of the small North Karelian municipality of Juuka. Waste is a valuable raw material and recycling has many positive environmental impacts. Although transport journeys can be long and cause CO₂emissions, the use of waste as a raw material for new products is more environmentally beneficial than making them from natural resources and other primary raw materials.
