Region of Päijät-Häme is a pioneer area in waste management and the utilization of recycled raw materials. The aim of the project is to develop the utilization, business opportunities and related value chains of underutilized municipal waste streams (plastics, furniture, textiles) in the Päijät-Häme region. Additionally, project is also aiming to analyze in more detail various options for significant waste streams in both business and technological solutions, taking into account the needs of different users and stakeholders. Aiming also to understand new uses and investments need of the waste sorting plant and to pilot potential alternatives for the business in order to achieve higher value-added products.
The project has three objectives:
1) Regional development of Päijät-Häme's utilization opportunities for underutilized waste streams (plastics, furniture and textiles) in Finland
2) Business Development and Testing: Utilizing High Value Added
3) Sharing lessons
The project will benefit recycling companies operating in the area and the manufacturing industry in Päijät-Häme, which can utilize recycled raw materials (plastic, furniture and textiles) or combinations thereof in their own production. Resellers and sellers of these products also benefit. In addition, the project will benefit waste treatment facilities at national level as well as consumers, bringing value to the better recycling value of the waste generated by them - by creating a circular economy instead of incinerating waste.
The core target group of the project consists of recycling companies operating in the region and SMEs operating in the Päijät-Häme region, which are interested in promoting the circular economy through their own activities. The latch cycle serves as a platform and enabler for the business in the project. The project serves the development of the material recycling center in accordance with the City of Lahti's national ecosystem agreement.
As a result of the project, an understanding of the quantities, composition and quality of the underused fractions as well as ideas about the further processing options and utilization possibilities of the different fractions will be created in Objective 1. The result is also an understanding of potential devices and methods for handling fractions. The key results are an understanding of the drivers and barriers to change in the operating environment, as well as information about potential exploitation partners and their perspectives on exploiting fractions.
As a result of the project, an understanding of the needs and challenges of stakeholders is created in Objective 2, for example on the recycling and utilization of different fractions. The result is also an understanding of the production needs of downstream processors for raw materials, as well as the business model for the production of the selected raw material and the method of raw material pricing. In addition, in order to improve the recycling rate in waste treatment plants, a roadmap for the development of the sorting process, a description of the example plant and a profitability assessment will be created. Objective 2 also produces a pilot product from the selected raw material.
As a result of the project, Objective 3 will provide waste treatment facilities with a first understanding of the development potential of a waste treatment facility when mechanically sorting plastics, textiles, furniture or municipal waste.
The utilization of sustainable methods in the region, as well as efficient recycling and low-carbon practices, contribute to the region's traction and holding power. In addition, the project directly promotes the development of regional RDI know-how.
