Company Stories

Experiences from businesses in the ECO3 area

”From the very beginning, our work at ECO3 was guided by the vision that this is not a one-off project or dream, but a systemic platform for operations. The key was to make it permanent and profitable in the region.”

Marko Seppänen, Professor, Faculty of Management and Business, Circular Economy Management Research Center (ManCE), Tampere University

”We gain a lot of practical synergy benefits from operating in the ECO3 area. We can join forces with other circular economy companies, which is purely beneficial for us.”

Antti Åke, CEO, WasteWise Group

”Ecolan produces organic fertilizers in the ECO3 area. Growing demand led to a €2 million expansion investment in our Nokia plant in 2017. In the future, Ecolan may utilize digestate residues from the new Pirkanmaan Jätehuolto biogas plant for producing organic fertilizers.”
