Plenty of good reasons to hop on the banana ride!

That means sorting your biowaste (and all other waste, of course!) and choosing sustainable ways to move.

  • Every Finn produces about 30 kg of biowaste per year
  • In Vaasa, that adds up to about 2,000,000 kg of biowaste annually
  • A single 45 km bus journey requires about 250 full bags of biowaste
  • 1 bag of biowaste produces one minute of hot shower, 100 phone charges and 1.4 km trip with a biogas car
