Forerunner in industrial circular economy
Tapojärvi offers diverse circular economy and factory services, including the handling of industrial side streams, maintenance, and logistics services. Our services improve the efficiency of production processes, reduce waste, and promote the recycling of resources.
We specialize in transforming industrial side streams into valuable resources that can be returned to the production chain or processed into new materials. Examples include the handling of metallurgical waste and the utilization of by-products from the steel and forest industries. Our circular economy products, such as slag products, are suitable for applications like road foundations, concrete, and asphalt. The products we have developed often have a smaller carbon footprint than traditional alternatives.
Our company was recognised as the world’s best slag treatment company in Australia in 2010, and in 2019, we received an international award for technological innovation in slag processing.
We also provide global consulting services.
