DAS will start collecting plastics waste
Tenants’ voice has been heard and DAS will increase the possibilities to recycle and sort their waste. We have agreed with our partner MHK Oy for a pilot project for one year in which the plastics waste will be collected as separate transportation.
In tenant pages, waste points on the yards and on notice boards in the houses have been updated the new waste points. During first week of 2019 to DAS areas has been added plastic waste containers as follows:

What happens to the collected plastic waste?
Material will be collected to Alakorkalo waste collecting terminal where it will be baled and transported forward to utilization to Ekokem plastic refinery in Riihimäki. Ekokem is building a new circulation economy village to Riihimäki and plastic refinery is one part of this project.
