Berga Recycling

What Berga Recycling does

Berga Recycling, operating as BEWI Connect, is a B2B recyclable materials trading platform and a subsidiary of BEWI Group, a publicly listed European industrial conglomerate (BEWI ASA on Oslo Børs). The company matches industrial suppliers of recyclable materials — including EPS, plastics (LDPE, PET, GPPS), fibers/OCC, metals, and biomass — with industrial buyers needing reliable recycled feedstock, while executing the operational layer of each trade in-house, covering transport coordination, documentation, customs, and cross-border compliance.

The platform is structured around three functional service layers surfaced as distinct entry points: a supplier-side offering (Sell Materials), a buyer-side offering (Buy Materials), and a Logistics Execution module for domestic and cross-border trades. A specialized EPS Trading & Recovery service line handles the full EPS flow from collection and densification through to verified downstream buyers. The underlying capability is described as a combination of trading expertise, logistics execution, and deep material knowledge — domain specialization across polymer types, formats, quality grades, and downstream processor fit — rather than a software platform, with no public API and no documented digital tooling.

Revenue is generated through two streams: a transaction fee on the buy/sell spread of each matched trade, and professional services revenue from coordinating transport, documentation, and customs on behalf of trading partners. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, and the go-to-market is consultative and enterprise-oriented, accessed via dedicated "Sell materials" and "Buy materials" inquiry forms on the company website, with both suppliers and buyers handled as account-managed relationships rather than self-serve marketplace participants. The company serves seven named verticals: fish industry, construction, distribution & logistics, food & cold chain, municipal recycling, manufacturing, and waste management.

Revenue model

1. Material trading spread and brokerage: Revenue generated by matching companies generating recyclable materials (EPS, plastics, fibers, metals, biomass) with buyers needing reliable feedstock, capturing margin on the buy/sell spread of each matched trade. Transactional and volume-linked rather than recurring subscription.
2. Logistics and execution services: Revenue from coordinating transport, documentation, customs handling, and cross-border compliance on behalf of suppliers and buyers — an execution layer attached to each material trade, both domestic and cross-border.

Core offering

Berga Recycling, operating as BEWI Connect, operates a B2B trading platform that matches suppliers of recyclable materials (EPS, plastics including LDPE/PET/GPPS, fibers/OCC, metals, and biomass) with industrial buyers seeking reliable recycled feedstock, capturing margin on the buy/sell spread. It also executes the operational layer — transport coordination, documentation, customs, and cross-border compliance — for both domestic and cross-border material flows, including a specialized EPS collection-to-downstream recovery service line.

Product overview

Berga Recycling operates BEWI Connect, a single unified B2B trading platform (rather than a multi-product suite) that brings together trading expertise, logistics execution, and deep material knowledge to move recyclable materials between suppliers and industrial buyers. Within this platform, three functional service layers are surfaced as distinct entry points — Sell Materials (supplier-side), Buy Materials (buyer-side), and Logistics Execution (operational coordination for domestic and cross-border trades) — with a specialized EPS Trading & Recovery service line and a Materials Catalog covering EPS, Plastics, Fibers/OCC, and Metals. The platform is backed by BEWI Group's industrial foundation in materials manufacturing and EPS production, and serves industries including fish, construction, distribution & logistics, food & cold chain, municipal recycling, manufacturing, and waste management.

Functional benefit

Brands

• BEWI Connect: Material trading partner for companies that generate, source, or process recyclable materials, combining trading expertise, logistics execution, and material knowledge across EPS, plastics, fibers, metals, biomass, and recycling equipment.

Products and services

• BEWI Connect Recyclable Materials Trading Platform Unified B2B trading platform that connects suppliers of recyclable materials (EPS, plastics, fibers, metals, biomass, recycling equipment) with industrial buyers needing reliable recycled feedstock, combining trading expertise, logistics execution, and deep material knowledge; part of BEWI Group.
• Sell Materials (supplier-side trading service) Service for industrial generators of EPS, plastics, fibers, metals, or biomass that helps them find qualified buyers, coordinate logistics, and obtain consistent commercial value from their recyclable material streams.
• Buy Materials (buyer-side feedstock sourcing service) Service for industrial buyers and processors that helps them identify recycled-material supply, assess material quality, and coordinate delivery so production does not depend on uncertain sourcing.
• Logistics Execution Service Operational execution layer covering transport coordination, documentation, customs handling, and timing for both domestic and cross-border recyclable-material trades so material flows do not stall at execution gaps.
• EPS Trading and Recovery Service Specialized service covering the full EPS flow — from collection and densification through to verified downstream buyers — so EPS from packaging, fish boxes, construction, and industrial applications does not end up in storage or landfill.

Quantifiable outcome

• Material streams routed to verified downstream buyers rather than storage or landfill, particularly for EPS from collection through densification to confirmed demand.

Broad incumbents

• Sims Metal Management: Global metals and electronics recycling company with trading operations across multiple geographies. Comparable as an industrial-scale recycler and trader that combines material recovery with global commodity trading, though focused primarily on metals versus BEWI Connect's multi-material platform.
• Veolia: Global environmental services and waste management incumbent operating across recycling, waste collection, and materials recovery. Comparable as an incumbent recycler with multi-material scope and cross-border operations, though far broader and integrated upstream/downstream versus BEWI Connect's trading-desk focus.
• Suez: Global water and waste management company with significant European recycling operations. Comparable as an incumbent in multi-material recycling and recovered materials trading, with broader vertical integration into collection and processing.

Others

• TOMRA: Norwegian sensor-based sorting and collection technology provider for recycling and waste streams. Comparable as an enabler of recyclable material recovery operations, though TOMRA sells technology and equipment rather than trading materials directly.

Regional players

• Kuusakoski: Finland-headquartered metals recycler and trader with Nordic and European operations. Comparable as a regional metals recycler that combines material trading with downstream processing, though more concentrated in metals than BEWI Connect's multi-material scope.
• DOWA Holdings: Japan-based environmental management and recycling company operating in metals, electronics, and industrial waste. Comparable as a recycler that combines materials trading with downstream processing, though primarily serving the Asian market rather than Europe.

Emerging players

• MBA Polymers: Specialty plastics recycler focused on recovering engineering plastics from end-of-life durable goods. Comparable as a specialized plastics recovery operator with downstream industrial offtake, though more focused on a single material stream than BEWI Connect's multi-material platform.

Direct peers

• Stena Recycling: Nordic-based recycling company operating across metals, electronics, and industrial waste streams with cross-border logistics. Comparable as a European multi-material recycler that handles industrial material flows with in-house logistics and trading capability.
• Renewi: UK/Netherlands-based recycling and materials recovery company trading in recyclables across multiple streams. Directly comparable as a multi-material recycler with cross-border European operations and a commercial/trading arm serving industrial buyers and processors.
• PreZero: European environmental services and recycling company (Schwarz Group) operating across multiple material streams in several European countries. Comparable as a multi-material European recycler with trading, sorting, and downstream placement operations serving industrial buyers.
