♻ Fortum Recycling & Waste's metal recycling services produces sustainable and responsible steel as a raw material for steel mills, both in Finland and around the world. ⚙ In the steel industry, the raw material of a metal product forms a significant part of its carbon footprint. Fortum Recycling & Waste's efficient recycling process meets the requirements of responsible recycling and minimizes the environmental impact. The mechanical recycling process captures almost 100% of the recycled metal and refines it into raw material. 🙋♂️ If you want to learn more about our sustainable metal products, contact our team: https://lnkd.in/d2cyQmHC

Exciting news for today – we are continuing Recycling & Waste business and operations in new ownership. Summa Equity has signed an agreement to acquire recycling & waste business from Fortum through its portfolio company NG Group. The sale of Recycling & Waste business is an expected and successful outcome of a comprehensive strategic review, which was initiated in autumn 2023 to explore whether the business might find better growth and value-creation opportunities under new ownership. “With great excitement, we’re welcoming a solid new owner, who is committed to growing and developing our business further. Material scarcity is one of the biggest societal challenges we need to solve, and our Waste-to-Materials strategy outlines a solid roadmap to this end. With the commitment of the new owner, we’re able to execute our ambitious roadmap”, says Timo Piispa, Senior Vice President, Fortum Recycling & Waste.
We have today signed an agreement to sell our Recycling & Waste business to Summa Equity. The divestment is in line with our Nordic strategy with focus on clean energy and provides us the opportunity to put enhanced focus on our core operations in clean power generation to drive electrification and build preparedness for future growth. With the new ownership, we see that the Recycling & Waste businesses have even better opportunities to grow: “We are very pleased to have found a very suitable new owner that is well positioned to further enhance and drive future growth opportunities for the recycling and waste business. Next to the clean energy transition, material scarcity is one of the biggest societal challenges we need to solve. Now is the right time for the new owner to take over”, says our President and CEO Markus Rauramo. https://lnkd.in/gvF4HweD

On 5 June, millions of people around the world will celebrate the UN's World Environment Day. Since 1973, the UN has supported environmental efforts and the power of governments, businesses and individuals to create a more sustainable world. This year’s Environment Day focuses on land restoration, desertification and drought resilience - the last two may not be the most prevalent challenges in the Nordic countries. However, over five decades already, Fortum Recycling & Waste has contributed to a sound balance of nature by, for example, removing more than 10 million tonnes of hazardous waste from the cycle and carrying out soil remediation projects in Finland, Sweden and Denmark. A big CHEER to Environment Day 2024 - let's keep up the good work together! 🍀 https://lnkd.in/dtCfWs4R

Fortum Recycling & Waste ja pakkaustuottajayhteisö Sumi Oy ja ovat sopineet laajamittaisesta yhteistyöstä muovipakkausten kierrätyksen vauhdittamiseksi. ♻ Sumi aikoo rakentaa muovipakkausten lajittelulaitoksen Riihimäelle ja Fortum keskittyy jatkossa kierrätysmuovituotteiden valikoiman laajentamiseen. Jatkossa Suomessa voidaan lajitella muovipakkauksia jopa 50 000 tonnia vuodessa. Suunniteltu investointi nostaa samalla lajittelu- ja kierrätysastetta kohti EU:n asettamia tavoitteita. "Uskomme, että tällä yhteistyömallilla voimme parhaiten tehostaa kotimaista muovinkierrätystä. Sumin lajittelulaitos lajittelee muovit, jotka me pesemme ja granuloimme uusioraaka-aineeksi. Näin pääsemme keskittymään Fortum Circo -uusiomuovin valmistukseen ja suuntaamaan toimintaa tuoteperheen laajentamiseksi. Markkinoilla on kysyntää laadukkaille ja räätälöidyille uusiomuovimateriaaleille”, Fortumin muoviliiketoiminnan johtaja Toni Ahtiainen kertoo.
