A Finnish forerunner of the circular economy

Honkajoki Oy is Finland’s leading processor of animal by-products. About 260,000 tons of animal by-products are produced in Finland every year. Almost 80% of these side streams are upcycled by Honkajoki Oy to industrial products according to Finnish and EU regulations.

We manufacture high-quality, clean and safe products from the by-products of meat production for our customers working in various industries. At the same time, we give ingredients from the food chain a new life as commodities, which can be used as new raw materials in, for example, animal feed, fertilizers and biofuels.
