Circular Materials Conference

Field Trip: Sweden

Explore Sweden’s cutting-edge recycling innovations on this full-day tour. Visit Befesa Circular Alloys and Boliden Bergsöe in Landskrona, leading facilities in metal recycling. Discover Stena Nordic Recycling Center, one of northern Europe’s largest recycling hubs, and the state-of-the-art Battery Recycling Center, recovering critical materials for new battery production. Gain first-hand insights into advanced processes driving the circular economy.

Befesa Circular Alloys | Landskrona

Befesa Circular Alloys processes filter dust and residues from stainless steel production, specializing in Nickel, Chromium, and Molybdenum recovery. With facilities in France and Sweden, the Landskrona site uses an electric plasma reduction process to produce up to 30,000 tons of circular alloys annually.

Befesa Group, headquartered in Germany, provides environmental solutions for the steel and aluminum industries, operating in Europe, the USA, China, South Korea, and Turkey.

Boliden Bergsöe | Landskrona

Boliden Bergsöe in Landskrona is the Nordic region's only lead recycling plant and one of Europe's largest recyclers of lead batteries. It recycles lead from over four million car batteries annually, with 90% sold back to the battery industry. Fully recyclable, lead is reused indefinitely.

Bergsöe also minimizes environmental impact by recycling battery plastic and supplying excess heat to Landskrona’s district heating, covering 2,000 homes.

Stena Nordic | Halmstad

The foplowing stop will be to Stena Nordic Recycling Center and Battery Recycling Center, one of northern Europe's largest recycling facilities, 

Stena Nordic Recycling Center

One of northern Europe's largest recycling facilities, handling everything from hazardous waste to cars. Innovative processes produce high-quality recycled materials, reducing climate impact and supporting a circular economy.

Battery Recycling Center

Opened in 2023, this facility recycles up to 10,000 tons of batteries yearly, recovering over 95% of materials like cobalt, lithium, and nickel for new battery production. It also houses a Battery Center for processing and discharging batteries.
