From waste to energy

Mixed /combustible waste is collected at Pyhätunturi area, which is transported to the Laanila eco-power plant in Oulu, where the energy obtained from incineration is utilized in the production of electricity and district heating. Incineration reduces the load on landfills and at the same time recovers the energy contained in the waste. You can sort almost everything in the mixed waste, such as plastic packaging and dirty cardboard packaging.
