Finn Recycling is now Resand

Resand Oy Press release      8 June 2023 at 10:00 a.m. EEST

Finn Recycling Oy, a Finnish technology company specialising in sand regeneration and recycling, has changed its name to Resand Oy. Resand aims to increase the number of sand regeneration units in the foundry market and to expand its business internationally. With the new name, Resand Oy wants to send a strong message about its commitment to sustainable development.

"Sand is the world's second most sought-after natural resource after water, and huge quantities of industrial waste sand are transported to landfills. We want to play our part in solving this problem and promoting sustainable development. By recycling waste sand, we reduce the need for virgin sand, the transportation of sand, and the amount of waste sand going to landfill. Our new name Resand sums up our company's goal to recycle sand again and again," says Kalle Härkki, CEO of Resand.

Founded in 2013, the company has developed a unique sand regeneration technology that enables waste sand to be cleaned and reused. Resand's technology enables foundries to recycle almost 100% of the sand used in the process. The solution reduces the environmental footprint of virgin sand use and the carbon dioxide emissions from sand use. At the same time, it brings significant savings for foundry customers.

Resand's sand regeneration technology has proven to be a successful solution and the company has already implemented several commercial projects with Finnish foundries. The company is also expanding into international markets. In March 2023, Resand started its first project in Germany with Siempelkamp, the global market leader in hand-mold casting solutions.

The company's new name, Resand, was registered in the Finnish Trade Register and came into effect on 25 May 2023.

Resand's solution enables almost 100% recycling of foundry sand and reduces CO₂ emissions from sand use and transport by up to 80%.
