Under the agreement, Stena Recycling will train personnel in relevant procedures at the Morrow Cell Factory. They will collect and handle the scrap at their new battery recycling facility in southern Sweden. This is one of Europe’s first industrial-scale battery recycling facilities. Stena Recycling’s advanced recycling process will recover valuable battery material, which can be used to manufacture new batteries.
“Morrow is focused on efficiency, sustainability, and environmental impact. Consuming fewer resources in the form of energy and raw materials is their goal, as well as ours. We look forward to a new circular partnership and a holistic solution to increase resource efficiency and minimise emissions,” says Marcus Martinsson, Product Area Manager Batteries at Stena Recycling Group.
The parties have agreed that for the next 1,5 years, Stena Recycling will manage Morrow’s production scrap from the Morrow Cell Factory. The two companies have a shared ambition to build a complete circular battery value chain where recycled material is re-inserted into battery production.
“We hope – and expect – this to be the first stepping stone in a wider joint effort to enable agile and circular battery value chains,” says Stina Torjesen, Sustainability Director in Morrow.
The parties will further explore establishing a larger facility in Eyde Material Park in southern Norway that can handle Morrow waste streams in combination with other streams.
