Material consumption 

Efficient use of natural resources and continuous improvement of material efficiency are very important goals for Talvivaara in view of both reducing its environmental impact and improving its competitiveness. Talvivaara's production process uses ore, chemicals, water and energy. Talvivaara seeks to optimise the use of chemicals, water and energy and to exploit the ore as efficiently as possible. Talvivaara enhances material efficiency through the use of waste rock produced in mining and efficient water circulation in metals processing, as well as by developing the recovery of metals and trace elements contained in ore.
