Ekopartnerit Turku Oy

What Ekopartnerit Turku Oy does

Ekopartnerit Turku Oy is a Finnish private limited company headquartered in Turku that provides comprehensive business-to-business waste management services to companies in the Turku economic area. Founded in 2012 and operating with approximately 10 employees, the company is structured as a joint venture majority-owned by NG Nordic Finland Oy (formerly Fortum Waste Solutions Oy) with Lounais-Suomen Jätehuolto Oy as the minority shareholder. Its stated mission is to minimise landfill disposal by routing business waste streams into material recovery and energy utilisation, and it advertises recovery rates of up to 85% for new construction waste and 65% for renovation waste streams.

The company's service portfolio spans eight core lines: material reception and sorting across 30-plus waste categories (construction, energy fractions, cardboard, plastics, wood, bio-waste, glass, asbestos, hazardous and landfill fractions); material utilisation for recycling; energy utilisation through a Sortteri processing line at Metsä-Topila that produces SFS-standard REF class 1 and 2 recycled fuel and wood-based biofuel for district heating and industrial offtake; secure destruction of confidential documents and IT equipment; container emptying and transport; sale and rental of collection equipment; waste audits; and customised training and consulting. Underlying technology is primarily physical — shredding, screening and sorting infrastructure — supplemented by operational software including a customer reporting portal (raportointi.ekopartnerit.fi), an electronic services portal, the Zero Waste electronic transfer document system that interfaces with Finland's official SIIRTO register, and a license plate recognition camera at the receiving gate. No AI/ML capability is disclosed.

Revenue is generated through a usage-based pricing model with per-tonne processing fees ranging from €0 (metal, clean plastic, glass, branches) to €470 (special waste, pre-treated bio-waste Class 3, immediate-processing waste, data-security paper), supplemented by recurring container rental, transaction-based transport and logistics fees, hardware sales of collection equipment, and professional services fees for audits and training. A temporary 7% fuel surcharge applies to transport work. Go-to-market is sales-led and field-driven, with named sales staff (Janne Aaltonen as Sales Manager, Toni Harjula), a phone- and email-based customer service team, and digital portals for existing customers. Target customers span SMEs through large enterprises across construction/renovation, retail/wholesale and industrial/manufacturing segments in the Turku region. The company's stated vision is to expand beyond Turku to become a national-level environmental services operator.

Revenue model

1. Waste processing fees: Customers pay per-tonne fees for processing various waste types. Fees vary by waste category (e.g., metal, clean plastic = €0/tonne; asbestos = €255/tonne; concrete = €45–155/tonne; hazardous waste up to €470/tonne). This is a usage-based revenue stream where volume drives income.

3. Transport and logistics services: Transport services for emptying and relocating waste containers, skips, and compactors. Transport costs are a significant component of total waste management costs, and correctly sized transport services can generate savings. Hazardous waste transport is also offered.
4. Secure destruction services: Data security destruction services for documents, IT equipment, hard drives, and other recording electronics. Includes optional collection, transport, and storage in locked collection containers, and destruction at an appropriate facility.
5. Collection equipment sales and rental: Sale and rental of waste collection equipment such as sorting carts, ashtrays, bins, containers, waste and sorting skips, compactors and balers, and UN type-approved collection containers for hazardous waste.
