Fortum Recycling & Waste - Part of NG Group

🎄As we wrap up the year 2024, we want to first thank our fantastic employees, customers and partners for everything we have achieved together this year! This year has been exceptional as we were acquired by Summa Equity and are now joining forces with NG Group to embark our journey to pioneer circularity together. As we look ahead to next year, we are excited to continue the work as a combined company tackling the urgent challenges of climate change and resource scarcity. For now, we wish you all a safe and peaceful holiday season! ✨

Last month, we introduced world's first biodegradable plastic produced from CO₂ emissions - INGA, the plastics born from CO₂. 🥁🎉 This breakthrough, based on carbon capture and utilization (CCU), is a significant step towards reducing and utilizing industrial carbon dioxide emissions and yet an important take towards the next generation of sustainable, fossil-free plastics. Interested to learn more about INGA, the next generation of sustainable plastics? 👉 Visit our website ingaplastics.com.

🌍Together, we are pioneering circularity🌍 We are proud to announce that the acquisition of Fortum Recycling & Waste by Summa Equity, combining it with NG Group, has been completed. We’re creating a Nordic leader in circular solutions and environmental services.  By joining forces, we will handle over 4.4 million tons of waste annually through 90 facilities and sites, have a combined revenue of EUR 1.2 billion and 3.500 colleagues across Norway, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Poland, and the UK. Through reuse, collection, recycling and depollution, we help decarbonize society via scaling access to circular raw materials. Partnering with customers and partners of all sizes, we provide solutions across the entire value chain, adding value at every step. Thank you to everyone — our employees, customers, owners and partners! We look forward to continuing this journey together.  Read more: https://lnkd.in/dufdfChg #pioneeringcircularity #recycling #circularity #NordicLeader

The first load of aluminium has been dispatched following the autumn test runs of our new metal refinery plant in Norrsundet, Gävle. 🥳🎉 We are extremely proud to announce that we have sold our first batch of completely pure aluminium to aluminium smelters. After extensive adjustments, test runs and hundreds of analyses, we have ensured the quality. The melt analyses from the smelter show that we delivered an excellent quality! 👌♻️ A big thank you to our outstanding team on site in Norrsundet; Rickard, Marcus, Molly, Anders, and Moa!

We are launching INGA, the next generation of sustainable plastics, today at the Sustainable Materials Conference & Expo and what a buzz it is! With our Carbon2x programme, we are capturing the value of CO2 emissions and repurposing the carbon into a new raw material. INGA is the world’s first biodegradable plastic born entirely from CO2. Come and join us at the event or read more about INGA at ingaplastics.com. #plasticsbornfromco2 #rethinkingrecycling

✨ We are excited to introduce INGA, the plastics born from CO2. ✨ 🎉 Last month we announced that, as a result of our Carbon2x programme, we had succesfully produced the first sample of the world’s first biodegradable plastic born entirely from CO₂. 🥁 Now we are taking the next step and unveiling the brand for the next generation of sustainable plastics: INGA - plastics born from CO2. “INGA means nothing or none in Swedish. The name refers to the fact that nothing new needs to be used to make the plastic. INGA plastics is aimed at environmentally conscious forerunners – companies, who want to make an impact but are not willing to compromise on the quality or aesthetics of the products they produce,” explains Tony Rehn, Carbon2X Programme Director, Fortum Recycling & Waste about the essence of the new brand. 📍 INGA plastics will be showcased at the Sustainable Materials Conference & Expo / Greener Manufacturing Conference & Expo, in Cologne, Germany, on 13–14 November. Come and join us there, or visit ingaplastics.com! 👋 Read more: https://lnkd.in/dihrBZSp

Despite the EU tightens its focus on sustainability, brand owners will play a crucial role in shaping a truly circular and profitable economy for plastics. Upcoming regulations, including Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) complemented with the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), aim to make all plastic packaging recyclable by 2030, with ambitious recycling rates set as soon as 2025. ♻️ For brand owners, this means an increasing responsibility to prioritize recyclability, durability, and repairability from the ground up. Regulations are setting the stage, but it's up to brand owners to lead with proactive solutions that ensure safe, sustainable materials and products that are viable in the marketplace”, writes Mikko Koivuniemi in his latest blog. Let’s lead the way with products that balance innovation, sustainability, circularity and profitability together! 🤝💡 #Ecodesign #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #PlasticsPackaging #RightToRepair #BrandResponsibility 

What does the next generation of sustainable plastics look like? We are creating the world’s first biodegradable plastic born entirely from CO2 and have something exciting to share soon! 🌟 📍 We will be exhibiting at Greener Manufacturing Conference & Expo in Cologne, Germany on 13-14th November and welcome you to join us to hear and experience more! 🤝 Whether you’re a current partner, potential customer, or just curious about what we’re up to, we invite you to visit our stand C20 and say hello! Let’s connect, share ideas, and explore how we can work together to create a circular future.

We have some exciting news to share! 🙌 We've been able to produce world’s first biodegradable plastic from CO2 emissions from waste incineration at our plant in Riihimäki, Finland! This is a remarkable milestone in our Carbon2x program and in our mission to rethink recycling and lead the way towards revolution of materials. “Captured carbon dioxide should be utilized as a new raw material instead of storing it underground or releasing it into the atmosphere when using fuel. Utilizing captured CO2 is a much more sustainable option in terms of tackling resource scarcity in the future. Whereas carbon capture and storage is a linear solution that does not address the growing material shortage, carbon capture and utilization promotes circular economy," says Tony Rehn, Head of the Carbon2x program.

❔ Did you know that Serto detergent bottles are now made from Fortum Circo® recycled plastic? ♻ ✔ Plastic packaging will be subject to a recycled content obligation, which means that by 2030 all non-food contact packaging must contain at least 35% post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic - meaning plastic, that has been recycled from consumer plastic waste. Kiilto is leading the way on this, as Serto bottles are already made entirely from Circo recycled plastic. By switching the material from virgin plastic to Circo, Kiilto has reduced the use of virgin plastic by 30 tonnes and reduced its carbon footprint as the #carbonfootprint of Circo is less than half of that of virgin plastic. 🤝 Making #plasticrecycling a reality requires cooperation along the entire value chain and we are happy to walk the talk with Kiilto on Serto bottles! #rethinkingrecycling #recycledplastics #collaboration
