NORTHVOLT INITIATES COOPERATION WITH

STENA RECYCLING

Northvolt has chosen Stena Recycling as recycling partner also for the production plant in Skellefteå, Sweden, where it will manufacture lithium-ion batteries for electric cars and energy storage. The overall focus will be to manage and recycle production waste as efficiently as possible, develop new recycling solutions, and ensure that valuable resources are circulated.

As the leading recycling company in Northern Europe, Stena Recycling has long and extensive experience in virtually all types of waste. The company has a network of 90 facilities across Sweden and its own production units for metals, paper, plastics, and hazardous waste, among others. Stena Recycling puts a lot of effort into continuous improvement of its customers’ waste, with the aim of constantly minimizing waste, increasing recycling rates, and circulating as many resources as possible back into Swedish and international production.

Stena Recycling is already present in Skellefteå and strengthened its capacity last winter through the acquisition of the company Allmiljö, which is an important player in the region. During spring, Stena Recycling also agreed to purchase an additional plot of land near Northvolt’s plant in preparation for further development of the business in connection with Northvolt.

”We are very pleased and proud of the assignment. Stena Recycling will have an important task where our extensive knowledge of the handling and processing of waste resources will be of great benefit. Northvolt is one of the biggest things that has happened in Swedish industry in modern times, and we look forward to making our contribution to making this venture sustainable and resource-efficient,” says Fredrik Pettersson, MD of Stena Recycling Sweden.

Stena Recycling is already responsible for the management and recycling of waste from ongoing construction work at Northvolt in Skellefteå as well as recycling at the Northvolt Labs development facility in Västerås, Sweden.
