Experience circular


”Kierrätyskeskus has solid understanding of circular economy and sustainability solutions especially at schools, and extensive experience of teaching these subjects.”
Anni-Elina Karvonen, Project Manager, Finnish National Agency for Education
A visit to Nihtisilta Kierrätyskeskus, Reuse Centre, is a unique, unforgettable dive straight into the very heart of circular economy. Visitors get to see how items circulate from donation to the store shelf, or get a new lease of life after a detour through our workshops. We wish to inspire and encourage everyone to think about ways to save the valuable natural recources. Content of the tour will be adjusted for different groups by our experienced environmental educators.
