In order to identify new material flows and to recover precious metals from waste materials more efficiently, we have established a research and development centre in Lahti, Finland. Our research laboratory studies and tests new ways of sorting materials. Our independent research centre guarantees that our expertise and know-how stay at the top of the industry and sharpens our competitive edge as one of the leading recycling companies in the world.

Our recycling processes are based on equipment and machinery we have developed in-house. Our affiliate RecTec Engineering designs, manufactures and installs equipment and facilities used in metal recycling processes and environmental maintenance work.

In addition to our own research efforts, we collaborate extensively with universities and participate in numerous joint projects across the world of research and our partner network. Close collaboration has enabled us to produce scientific, high-quality research results.
