Delete: Design products from demolished materials
Delete’s Waste recycled products are manufactured
by recycling and reusing materials created at Delete’s
demolition locations.
The unique design objects made from waste and
scrap by the designer brothers Juhana Myllykoski and
Johannes Stenberg will be sold through the Waste-
online store opened in June 2017, as well as Waste
pop-up stores in Kyläsaari, Helsinki. The materials for
the products are found at Delete’s demolition
locations.
What's the added value?
• Every year, a great deal of materials resulting
from demolition activities are generated at
Delete’s working locations. Some of the
demolition locations contain objects and goods or
materials that can be taken into use after just a
quick clean. For others, a new product may be
created by shaping and combining the object so
that something completely new is produced.
• Ecological recycled products, Trash Design and
Industrial Design are of interest to interior
architects and enthusiastic home decorators.

Destaclean Oy: A progressive recycled composite
product for yard and environmental constructions
Destaclean® Puukivi (Wood stone) is a progressive recycled material,
of which the prepared products are ecological, lightweight, durable and
easy to machine. The product range includes products for yard and
environmental constructions, such as garden stones and garden
furniture.
Wood stone is a composite of pure recycled wood fibre, rock minerals,
cement and water. Recycled wood fibre is obtained from wood waste,
which is processed as a recycled raw material at a processing plant in
Tuusula.
With the Destaclean process, wood waste fulfils the End of Waste
criteria, according to the set Waste Act.
What's the added value?
• The Destaclean® concept enables the recycling of wood waste
to be used for construction needs.
Recycled wood fibre will replace some of the precious natural rock
materials. The light weight properties of wood stone and the
utilization of construction waste bring an ecological competitive
advantage, which remains, at the same time, socially sustainable.
• The crushed material used in Destaclean® Wood stone received
the first EoW permit to be issued for waste wood recycling in
Finland (2015).

Europress Group Oy: Waste compressors for the
efficient recycling of consumer packaging waste
The Rinki eco take-back point network collects consumer packaging waste by
stores and service centres. The network has more than 1 850 collection points
for fibre, glass and metal packaging waste, of which more than 500 spots also
collect plastic packaging waste. All in all, the eco take-back points have a total of
about 8,000 collecting tanks, of which about 360 spots utilise Europress waste
crushers.
What is the added value?
Alongside the location of the collection points and user friendliness, the
appropriateness of the collection tools are important factors in ensuring the
efficiency of the entire collection system. The presses compress the waste into
a small size, which enhances the space utilization, extends the emptying intervals
of the tanks and reduces the volume of transport. Through intelligent functions,
one can track the presses remotely, which allows automatic error messages and
the optimisation of transport on the basis of the filling quantities.

Lassila & Tikanoja: “Hävikkimestari” application
also helps to minimize restaurant food waste
The Hävikkimestari application is a service designed for lunching restaurants that can help reduce
the amount of food waste that is created. Restaurant workers weigh and mark on the
Hävikkimestari application the amount of waste produced and the way in which it is handled. The
application also visualizes the waste and helps to find out the causes behind it. The Hävikkimestari
application is easy to use and the tracking takes place alongside the work.
With the aid of the application, the waste data can be viewed in real time and gives management a
good perception of the waste created through its operations, as well as its causes. The employees
of the restaurant can be instructed in developing their work with the Hävikki data. Hävikki data can
also be used to assist restaurant employees in decreasing the waste which they cause - According
to the Lean Leadership philosophy, work can also be developed where it is carried out.
Action towards preventing food waste
• Finland is committed to UN and EU targets to halve the creation of food waste
by 2030. Implementation of the targets requires working tools to track and
reduce food waste.
• Impressive results have been achieved with the aid of Hävikkimestari. During a
pilot project lasting six months, food waste created as a result of a customer’s
work decreased by 45% and the customer significantly reduced the
environmental impacts resulting from their food waste and achieved significant
cost savings on an annual level of up to even 20,000€.

the waste industry
• Finnish ZenRobotics Oy has developed
the world's first waste sorting robot. The
technology enables fast and accurate
sorting results from mixed waste flows
into recyclable materials.
• Sensor technology can be used to
effectively sort recyclable materials from
unsorted waste loads in the waste sorting
process. A basic solution in the
construction of waste incineration plants
nowadays can be considered to be the
automatic separation of waste before the
incineration process, whilst also taking
into account the environmental impacts
and overall benefits - this is how valuable
raw materials can be recovered and
materials unsuitable for incineration can
be removed.
