Wastesorting in Ski-Inn accommodation

We want to focus on recycling, because when sorted correctly, the waste turns from rubbish into a raw material or energy source.

SKI-INN ACCOMMODATION AND CARAVAN AREA

In Pyhä Ski-Inn accommodation you can sort metal, glass, cardboard, paper, biowaste and mixed waste. At the moment, we are unable to offer plastic waste sorting because there is no collection service for it in the area. The plastic is sorted into mixed waste, with which it ends up for incineration and as part of energy production.

The sorting points are located in front of the Ski-Inn apartments, in the yard of the Pyhätunturi hotel and in the service building of the caravan park (Alavuokraamo). Thank you for recycling!

From rubbish to raw material - Here's how to sort:

From waste to energy

Mixed /combustible waste is collected at Pyhätunturi area, which is transported to the Laanila eco-power plant in Oulu, where the energy obtained from incineration is utilized in the production of electricity and district heating. Incineration reduces the load on landfills and at the same time recovers the energy contained in the waste. You can sort almost everything in the mixed waste, such as plastic packaging and dirty cardboard packaging.

Pyhä Ski Resort and Ski-Inn accommodation are carbon neutral in terms of energy use

Our goal is to be the cleanest ski resort in the world.
