Households from Forssa actively participated in the 2022 Ham Trick. According to the release of Kemianteollisuus ry, the collection record for the entire country was set in Forssa. Lahti and Oulu also participated diligently in the rapture.

With biodiesel made from collected fat, you could drive a car up to 1,880 times around Forssa, which set the collection record.

All over the country, the frying fat produced in the production of ham and Christmas dishes was collected at almost 250 collection points, where a total of 45 tons of fat were brought.

The Christmas circular economy event was organized from 16.12.2022‒8.1.2023. It was already the seventh Ham trick.
