Construction is underway on Enviro Systems’ recycling plant in Uddevalla, Sweden. This milestone was celebrated at a symbolic ground-breaking ceremony on February 13, attended by Enviro’s CEO, Fredrik Emilson; chairman, Alf Blomqvist; and board member, Peter Möller. Representatives from Uddevalla municipality’s political leadership, the general contractor EBC and property owner Fratera also gathered at the industrial site outside Uddevalla for the ceremony.
Last week, Enviro, Antin Infrastructure Partners and Michelin finalized the investment decision for the plant.
The plant is initially expected to create around 40 green industrial jobs for the region, with the potential for expansion and additional job opportunities in the future.
“It’s fantastic that we’re now underway with the construction of our first full-scale recycling plant. This plant is our flagship and the first in an extensive European initiative where, together with Antin, we aim to recycle one million metric tons of tires by 2030, a third of all end-of-life tires in Europe,” said Blomqvist.
Emilson added, “Of course, many have contributed to getting us to this point, but the successful cooperation with the municipality, property owners and general contractors has played a very significant role in us reaching all the way.”
The general contractor for the construction is EBC together with Fratera. The plant is expected to be fully operational by 2025.
