After the smelter's extensive expansion and modernization in 1993-96, which increased copper smelting capacity by three-fifths and doubled nickel smelting capacity, sulphur emissions were reduced to approximately 10 kg per tonne of metal.

Smelting of nonferrous metals at Harjavalta represents 4.7% of the industrial sulphur dioxide emissions and 2.5% of the total emissions in Finland.
