Sustainability revolutions exhibition at Aalto University

23.05.2018 Education, Events, Student Life

Part 5 of our circular economy spring tour took our engineering students to Aalto University. After visiting major waste treatment facilities, it was time to turn our attention towards the design phase of sustainable materials and products. Currently Aalto University is exhibiting innovative interdisciplinary projects on sustainability. Student Juan Silva: “Pretty advanced. The should be more information to the public about these things, e.g. nanocellulose. The ideas for buildings in other…

Where does all our water go? Excursion to Viikinmäki

23.05.2018 Education, Events, Student Life

Our materials technology students were on the move again today to Viikinmäki waste water treatment plant in Helsinki. As part 4 of the circular economy spring tour we went underground through the largest treatment plant in Finland and the Nordic countries, which processes the wastewaters of around 800,000 residents as well as the wastewaters of the region’s industry. We learned about the different treatment stages of screening, sedimentation, aeration and biological…

Engineering students learn where all our mixed waste goes

22.05.2018 Education, Events, Student Life

On the second excursion of our circular economy spring tour we visited the waste-to-energy plant in Vantaa. Modern and among the best in the world, it burns unusable waste from the Helsinki region rather than it being put in a landfill. It meets about half of the district heat needed by the entire city of Vantaa, covers about 30% of the electricity demand of Vantaa, and reduces significantly the emissions of…

Hottest day of the year…and we went to a waste landfill site!

22.05.2018 Education, Events, Student Life

What better way to enjoy the hot sunny weather than an excursion to Ämmässuo waste treatment centre in Espoo? Part 3 of the circular economy spring tour saw our engineering students getting up close and personal with more modern waste technology. The old landfill had been completely covered and its released gases are collected for energy production. Biowaste is processed to make horticultural compost and problem waste from private citizens…

Circular economy spring tour starts with excursion to Fortum

22.05.2018 Education, Events, Student Life

Our energy and materials technology students started their spring tour with an excursion to Fortum’s circular economy village in Riihimäki. It is a pioneering example of future waste management. We were guided through how municipal waste is separated to biowaste, plastic, metal and fuel for their waste-to-energy plant. And we got our hands on recycled plastic from their Plastic Refinery. Student Christofer Enlund said “Interesting place. They recycled quite a lot,…

To a Student

13.11.2017 Education, Student Life

Materials Processing Technology department is a mystery for one and a joy for other. To popularize it among all students of Arcada we decided to talk to staff and students about what concerns and expectations are floating around. RENE HERRMANN, Senior Lecturer in Natural Sciences and Composite Materials in Arcada University of Applied Sciences, has agreed to discuss environmental issues and students’ future with PET (Polymer Engineering Technology) Club in…
