Sun Piha Oy and Circulation collaborate closely to promote circular economy in property maintenance.
Sun Piha Oy is a Finnish company providing versatile property maintenance across the Helsinki metropolitan area for both business and private customers.
– In property maintenance, proper waste handling and recycling are key ways to reduce environmental impact and conserve valuable natural resources. Together with Circulation, we ensure materials get a new life instead of ending up in landfills, says Sun Piha CEO and founder Roope Kolis.
Environmentally friendly property maintenance and construction
For Sun Piha it is important that materials generated through property maintenance are handled responsibly and put to the best possible use. Sun Piha also carries out new construction and renovation work, and the resulting construction and demolition waste is delivered to Circulation for recycling.
– For example, taking construction waste to a landfill can raise waste fees and transport costs significantly compared with what the same delivery costs when handled through us, Kolis says.
The partnership between Sun Piha and Circulation began just under two years ago. At first Sun Piha delivered waste to Circulation's facilities itself, but the company now increasingly uses Circulation's skip and transport services.
– We have wanted to deepen and expand our cooperation with Circulation because working with them is easy and the company has broad material reception at its recycling facilities, Kolis says.
Circulation accepts a wide range of construction and demolition materials, including:
• Concrete and brick waste
• Demolition wood and construction waste
• Soil materials, including sand
• Stumps, brush and garden waste
• Snow loads in winter
At Circulation's facilities, concrete and brick waste become crushed concrete used in earthworks. Wood waste is turned into wood chips used for energy production at power plants. Recyclable materials are sorted from construction waste for reuse, and the remainder is primarily used for energy production. These processes also help reduce the use of virgin natural resources and promote sustainable development.
Big bags and skips for different needs
Sun Piha offers big bags as an easy way to collect and deliver waste for recycling. A big bag can hold, for example, leaf waste, construction waste and other mixed waste. Big bags can be ordered easily from Sun Piha's website. Waste collected in big bags is delivered to Circulation, where it is processed and put to use in an ecologically sustainable way.
Sun Piha also offers competitively priced skips for housing company clean-up days, so housing companies do not have to worry about disposing of the waste.
– We make sure skip waste ends up in circular-economy reuse whenever possible, Kolis says.

We want to help build a future where the cycle works seamlessly – respecting the environment and conserving natural resources, Kolis concludes.
