Tana – Tough machines, soft values
We believe that the foundation of a sustainable planet lies in a global circular economy that reconciles human needs with environmental well-being. Our aim is to keep natural resources in use for as long as possible once they have been extracted. In the early stages of the circular economy transition, this is made possible through intelligent solid waste management technologies that enable efficient and more sustainable solutions for future generations. Our objective is to turn waste into value – value for the user, the owner, and the planet.
At Tana, our commitment to sustainability is guided by our vision, strategy, and values. Our vision is to deliver the highest added value in the industry to our customers by offering durable, long-lasting waste processing equipment and localized lifecycle services. In line with our strategy, we focus on mobile pre-treatment technologies for solid waste, namely shredding and separation. In addition, we are expanding our service business, for example, by giving end-of-life machines a second life through our Tana Second Life solutions.
Because we refurbish, rebuild, or upgrade our own products based on customer needs, our equipment is designed to be repairable from the outset. Refurbishment has proven successful from complete machines down to individual components. We recognize the significance of the circular economy hierarchy and strive to strengthen actions at the top levels of the value order in our business operations – for instance, by offering the possibility to rent our waste processing machines without the need for ownership. However, no one can build a circular economy alone, which is why we are constantly reaching toward more diverse value chain networks.
We support our employees in acting efficiently, boldly, and responsibly – for the benefit of the environment, people, and the economy. Our company’s primary mission is to create a meaningful positive handprint in the circular economy, thereby generating value for our stakeholders. We also aim to be an attractive and safe workplace that respects human rights and embraces diversity within the work community. We expect our business partners to adhere to the same principles. Our operations comply with legislation and ethically accepted business practices.
We have initiated measures related to sustainability performance indicators, value chain data collection, and sustainability targets, as Tana Oy will become subject to the European sustainability reporting obligations either in 2025 or 2027, depending on the national implementation schedule of the CSRD Omnibus legislation.
