Cases

The cases outlined in these pages show our commitment to sustainability, which, after all, will affect each and every one of us in the very near future.

 

Sustainable use of Earth’s natural resources is a mission we believe both our customers and employees can fully embrace and work toward achieving. As evidence of this, these pages and the printed Case Book highlight a selection of cases in which Outotec® technologies made a vital contribution to the project in question’s sustainability, whether in terms of energy efficiency, process control, recovery and recycling, or even human resources.

 

At present, our customers are confronted with the dilemma that exists between the growing need for metals and the environmental impact of producing them. We believe that this dilemma can be addressed. In fact, its solution is a vital part of our strategy – we see it as our role in the industrial ecosystem. Of the megatrends facing the mining and metals sector, we consider sustainability the most important, and the cases outlined in these pages demonstrate our long-term commitment to this issue, which, after all, will affect each and every one of us in the very near future.
