Stena’s total waste management solutions
and hazardous waste services
succeeded well during the year. Stena is
well-prepared for Norway’s harmonization
with the new EU directives on
recycling electrical and electronic scrap
and end-of-life vehicles.

Total waste management solutions
Demand for total waste management solutions
is growing strongly in Norway. One
reason is more stringent solid waste regulations,
due to which customers prefer to
rely on a single contractor to meet all their
needs easily and safely. Stena’s recycling
companies in the country offer total waste
management solutions and during the year
took several steps to further enhance their
customer offering. In Mongstad, north of
Bergen, a new treatment plant was opened
to handle industrial hazardous waste.
Ferrous and non-ferrous operations are
developing positively, as is recovered
paper recycling.
Custom-designed environmental training
is an area that continues to grow. The
aim is to provide customers’ employees
with information on efficient waste management,
recycling and environmental
issues in general.
There is also a growing interest in international
solutions for recycling issues.
With operations in 230 locations in the
Nordic countries, Poland and Russia, the
Stena Metall Group has the resources to
handle cross-border assignments.
Stena complies with EU directives
While Norway is not an EU member
state, it harmonizes its laws with European
requirements that affect the recycling
industry. The ELV directive introduced in
Norway on January 1, 2007 covers endof-life
vehicles. Stena maintains a dialogue
with Autoretur, a car importer responsible
for procuring services to meet the government’s
producer responsibility requirement.
Another example of harmonization is
the WEEE directive, Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment, which regulates
the collection and processing of electronic
scrap. Stena’s electronics recycling operations
in Norway are cutting edge and already
meet the stricter requirements of the
WEEE directive. During the year Freon
recycling from appliances was moved to
Sweden, creating greater efficiency and
environmental benefits.
