The biowaste and sludge from wastewater treatment plants are treated at the biogas plant under anaerobic conditions to form biomethane. After treatment and processing, this product, made from organic waste raw materials, is ideally suited as a fuel for both gas-powered passenger cars and heavy vehicles; for example, many buses and a significant proportion of the region\u2019s garbage trucks run on biogas. BIG biogas is available at five filling stations in South Karelia, with the refuelling network extending from Luum\u00e4ki via Lappeenranta and Imatra all the way to Parikkala.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:11px\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\">Packaging waste, plastic, carton and glass packages as well as small-sized metal items collected from eco take-back points and properties\u2019 collection containers are utilised in the manufacture of new packaging and products. Services are constantly being developed: South Karelia has been a pioneer in the collection of plastic packaging from properties and, for example, our Hy\u00f6dyksi! multi-compartment container for recyclable waste is popular. Following efficient sorting, the remaining non-recyclable dry waste is utilised at the waste-to-energy plant for district heating and electricity production. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6771,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"rooli-verkostossa":[],"toimiala":[],"class_list":["post-6770","partner","type-partner","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Etel\u00e4-Karjalan J\u00e4tehuolto - Greenreality<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Etel\u00e4-Karjalan J\u00e4tehuolto - Greenreality\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"&nbsp;Etel\u00e4-Karjalan J\u00e4tehuolto \u2013 connecting residents to the circular economy&nbsp; &nbsp; ETEL\u00c4-KARJALAN J\u00c4TEHUOLTO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE WASTE MANAGEMENT OF HOUSEHOLDS IN NINE MUNICIPALITIES.
