The attached Excel sheet lists Finnish Tyre Recycling's recovery and reutilisation rates since 1996. The statistics are updated twice yearly.

Renkaat OlympiastadionillaThe recycling system has received approximately 1,000,000 tonnes of tyres in total. This enormous quantity can be put into perspective by measuring it against the size of the Helsinki Olympic Stadium. The sporting venue would currently be in the process of being filled for the third time, if it was filled up to the Olympic Tower height.
