One of the main goals of the Materiaalitori service is to promote the circular economy and the recovery of waste and side streams by providing operators in the field with a meeting place that enables those offering and needing recycled materials to find each other. Forming such industrial symbioses is a requirement for recycling materials.

Materiaalitori is used to bring together the material streams originating from Finland visibly to one site to create new ways to use the materials and ensure that more and more materials are recovered. Developing such a recycling market is key to also increasing the value of recycled materials. Recycling materials should be increasingly perceived as valuable raw materials to ensure that they are circulated for as long as possible.

A further aim is to create transparency in the use of the supplementary waste management service provided by municipalities, on which provisions are issued in the Waste Act, and indicating the lack of other service provision which is a prerequisite for obtaining the service.
