Aiming to reduce the use of natural resources by promoting the reuse and recycling of demolition materials
Saving natural resources through smart choices
We see the raw materials of the future in demolition materials. We believe we can significantly reduce the consumption of natural resources by making smart choices again and again in our everyday work on site. Clear and effective practices support the daily work of all our staff and make responsible choices a natural part of everything we do.
How do we minimise the environmental impact of our work?
- We dismantle building components and materials that are suitable for reuse as they are, as well as various machines and equipment, so that they can be reused.
- We sort all demolition materials into separate fractions as the demolition work progresses.
- We maximise the recovery rate of every project, getting as close to 100% as possible, and minimise the amount of waste that goes to final disposal.
- We deliver the sorted fractions from our sites to an appropriate recovery destination for each fraction.
- We are developing the reuse of precast concrete elements together with experts from different industries.
99.12%
Recovery rate
Our recovery rate in 2025 was 99.12%, which means that only 0.88% of our demolition materials went to final disposal.
9,944.64
Carbon footprint
Our carbon footprint (t CO₂e) covers direct emissions (Scope 1), indirect emissions from purchased energy (Scope 2) and indirect emissions in our value chain (Scope 3).
22,626.26
Carbon handprint
The reuse and recycling of demolition materials generated avoided emissions (t CO2e). Our net impact is therefore -12,681.62 t CO2e, which means that recovering materials avoids more emissions than our operations produce.
Our environmental policy
Our aim is to promote the recycling of materials and to reduce the use of natural resources. We comply with the construction industry’s laws, decrees and environmental protection regulations, but we see them only as the foundation for what we do.
In our everyday work, we aim to go beyond statutory requirements and to develop solutions that reduce environmental impact and support the wise use of resources.
Everything usable goes back into use
Using resources wisely starts with making use, first and foremost, of everything that can be reused as it is. Using existing materials reduces the amount of waste and saves the natural resources needed to manufacture new products. Promoting reuse is a key part of our work on every demolition project.
Industrial demolition constantly produces usable machines and equipment, some of which we store and sell for reuse. Reusing machines and equipment also gives our clients cost-effective alternatives to buying new ones.
Building demolition produces reusable building materials and components, such as windows, doors, stairs and various fixtures. These materials can be carefully dismantled and used as they are in new building projects.
Demolition materials are the raw materials of the future
Most demolition materials can be recycled into raw materials for the future. Our aim is to maximise the recovery rate of every demolition project – in other words, to minimise the amount of waste that goes to final disposal.
We carry out all our demolition work with on-site sorting, which means that we sort all demolition materials into separate fractions as the work progresses. We deliver the sorted fractions from our sites to an appropriate recovery destination for each fraction.
Demolition with on-site sorting also keeps the site clean and orderly, which makes the work more efficient and reduces the risk of occupational accidents.
There is still room to develop reuse
Although our recovery rate already exceeds 99%, we still see potential to develop the reuse of demolition materials, such as concrete, that could not previously be used as they are.
In 2023, we took part in the pioneering ReCreate project coordinated by Tampere University, which studied dismantling precast concrete elements intact from demolition sites and reusing them in new building projects. The results have been promising and suggest that the quality and condition of used precast concrete elements make it possible to reuse them in new construction projects.
