What REMONDIS Sverige does

REMONDIS Sverige (legal entity: REMONDIS Sweden AB) is a Swedish waste-management and recycling operator headquartered in Hisings Backa, Gothenburg, and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the German family-owned REMONDIS SE & Co. KG, the world's third-largest recycling group with approximately 1,000 facilities across 30 countries processing over 30 million tons of material annually. The Swedish entity employs 416 staff and delivers waste collection, sorting, recycling, and circular-economy services to 11+ industry verticals — construction, retail, healthcare, hospitality, manufacturing, logistics, commercial real estate, residential properties/BRFs, the public sector, plastic recycling, and hazardous-waste producers — plus household waste collection under LOU contracts for 8 Swedish municipalities.

Its core product set spans physical infrastructure (containers and bins from 190 L to 35 m³, compactors, the RE KOMPLETT on-site environmental cabinet), recycling assets (plastic recycling facilities in Staffanstorp and Röstånga producing 100% recycled raw material), specialized services (RELOOP furniture reuse in Stockholm, ADR-certified hazardous-waste handling, full-chain documentation to Naturvårdsverket), and digital tooling (the Kundportal customer portal and mobile app providing real-time statistics, Scope 3 emissions data, and CO2-impact reporting aligned with Miljöbyggnad, BREEAM, LEED, and CSRD requirements). Operations are supported by ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications plus sector-specific hazardous-waste and professional-traffic permits, and by a fossil-free transport fleet with significant rail-based outbound logistics.

REMONDIS Sverige generates revenue through subscription/recurring contracts (municipal and enterprise waste collection, container rental), professional-services fees (hazardous-waste management with full documentation), and transaction fees (plastic raw-material sales/purchases and RELOOP reuse handling). Pricing is bespoke and quote-based with no public list; household services are invoiced by the municipality rather than directly. The go-to-market combines a regional account-management field-sales force, LOU public-procurement tenders, and self-service digital channels (portal, app, free nulägesanalys status analysis), with distribution concentrated in Västra Götaland, Skaraborg, Uppsala County, and southern Sweden.
