Stena Recycling Norge

What Stena Recycling Norge does

Stena Recycling Norge, operating through the legal entity Stena Recycling AS, is the Norwegian subsidiary of Stena Metall Gruppen, a diversified Scandinavian recycling conglomerate. The company provides industrial and commercial waste management and recycling services across multiple material streams — metals, plastics, paper, electronics, batteries, and hazardous waste — as well as total waste management outsourcing, demolition work, confidential destruction, sorting analysis, and training. Its customer base spans manufacturing, public sector, retail, automotive (including end-of-life vehicles and EV batteries), process industry, infrastructure, and offshore energy clients, delivered through a Norway-wide branch network supported by industrial processing facilities (notably the Skien plant) and access to the Stena Nordic Recycling Center in Halmstad, Sweden.

The company's product portfolio is organized around four pillars: material recycling, industrial solutions, recycling services, and digital services. Specialized offerings include Battery Center Norway (a complete EV battery value chain from collection to material recovery), ProRetur AS (a subsidiary handling producer responsibility for electrical and electronic waste), and Stena Circular Consulting (advisory services on circular economy practices). Digital infrastructure comprises the Kundeportal self-service system for ordering collection, accessing waste statistics, and exporting reports, plus a CSRD reporting module for sustainability compliance. Distribution combines direct enterprise sales through branch staff with a self-service portal serving mid-market customers, while ProRetur AS operates as a regulated channel for producer-responsibility return schemes.

Revenue is generated primarily through transaction-fee models for waste collection, processing, and material recovery, supplemented by container and containment equipment provision and professional services fees from Circular Consulting. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; customers are directed to local branches or the portal for quote-based engagement. As a privately held subsidiary within a larger conglomerate, Stena Recycling Norge does not publish standalone revenue or headcount figures.
