Circular Economy in Practice

The value of materials, land and infrastructure should be utilised and kept in circulation every day.

The circular economy requires practical actions

The circular economy means keeping materials, land and infrastructure in use for as long as possible and returning them to use instead of letting them end up as waste or be destroyed.

At L&T, we collect, process and refine materials, land and infrastructure for reuse, and help companies unlock their full potential. At the same time, we reduce the use of natural resources, prevent environmental pollution and return areas back into use.

The circular economy in everyday business

For companies, the circular economy is reflected in the management and development of materials, land and production. This can mean, for example:

  • more efficient use of materials and land

  • reducing the amount of waste

  • improving recycling rates better

  • monitoring of material flows

The circular economy develops gradually as part of operations. Often through small changes that together create a significant impact.

How the circular economy works in practice

The circular economy progresses through the management of materials and land. Materials are collected, processed and returned back into use.

The better materials are identified and processed, the larger share of them can be reused.

Collection and sorting

Materials are collected and directed to the right processing. We take care of waste collection and transport, sorting and pre-treatment, and provide tailored sorting solutions and guidance for our customers.

Processing and refining

Collected materials are processed and prepared for a new use through expert cleaning and treatment. We produce recycled raw materials and ensure the safe handling of hazardous waste.

Reuse

Processed materials are returned to use by utilising them in production, using side streams, returning excavated land to reuse, and developing new applications for different materials.
