Our services

1
Reliable analysing services

In order to sort recycling materials as accurately as possible, it is extremely important to identify them. When a visual assessment is not sufficient or it is impossible, we analyse the materials in our testing laboratory.

Our research centre is a testing laboratory accredited by FINAS (Finnish Accreditation Service) (T353, accreditation requirement SFS-EN ISO/IEC 17025:2017). Information on the activities included in the accredited scope of competence can be found on the Finas website.

Customers, authorities and industry can rely on the quality of our services and the reliability of the results we produce.

Collaboration with various stakeholders

We collaborate extensively with various research institutes and universities. The benefits of the research collaboration are clear. Collaboration with stakeholders, customers, various actors in the value chain, and experts from the scientific world provide a broad perspective on research topics. Together, we develop and learn from our operating environment.

Collaboration is typically carried out in the joint projects, where various actors in the field and the scientific world work on a common theme, problem, or development opportunity.
