The results of the Circwaste project will be presented at the project's final seminar on October 26 and 27 in Hietalahti, Helsinki, at the Radisson Blu Seaside Hotel. Come and hear what the Circwaste project has really achieved in the last seven years!

The Keep the Archipelago Tidy Association is holding a Mahanpuruja muovista (tummyache from plastic) campaign in which manholes are marked with colourful stickers from 21 August to 3 September 2023. The campaign aims to remind consumers that litter can easily be transferred through manholes to bodies of water.

The circular economy is part of the City of Lahti's strategy and procurement programme. In 2020, the city signed a framework contract for recycled furniture with three suppliers: OffiStore, Martela and Pa-Ri Materia. At the same time, a framework contract for new furniture is also in place.

The circular economy is one of the city's key projects, and since 2019, every school in the municipality has had a person responsible for circular economy issues. Circular economy curricula have also been developed for primary and secondary schools.
