In Finland, meat consumption generates as by-product 250 000 tonnes of animal material, unfit for human consumption, per year. A major part of these substances are being transported to Honkajoki Oy’s production facilities, where they are bing refined into clean, safe and high-quality raw materials for example for energy, cosmetics, fertiliser and animal feed industries, as well as for the fur and pet food industries.

Our resource-wise processing and production processes are based on the circular economy. Their goal is to keep the valuable by-products of the meat industry in the cycle as long as possible and with minimal waste. We have invested in technological innovations to make use of all incoming raw materials and to produce the energy we use ourselves.

Sustainable agricultural productivity and the efficient use of resources are the cornerstones of our operations. We work closely with various research institutes and actively participate in projects aimed at studying and developing operational models for the circular economy and agroecology. We also commit to develop our concept to make it even more sustainable by reducing its environmental impact and concentrating on the possibilities of further processing of raw materials.

Honkajoki Oy (Ltd) was established in 1967 and its owners are Atria Oyj (50 %) and HKScan Finland Oy (50 %). Our company is part of Honkajoki Group which also includes subsidiary companies Findest Protein Oy and GMM Finland Oy.
