Through our national and international projects, we increase public interest and awareness on environmental issues and help to find solutions on these issues.

Service vessels and boats
Our four service vessels and five service boats transport thousands of tons of energy waste, metal and glass from Roope service stations each year and as much as 200 cubes of waste from sewage pumpout stations – from the sea and the lakes.
Roska-Roope
Roska-Roope collects floating litter from the waterways. The 5,5 meter long catamaran Roska-Roope is, in itself, environment-friendly as it is enquipped with electric motors that get their power from rooftop solar panels.
Help us keep our waterways tidy
Keeping our waterways clean isn’t easy but someone’s got to do it.
