Circularity & waste
Climate solutions – Circularity & Waste
Poor waste management accelerates emissions, ecosystem degradation, and economic strain, especially in rapidly urbanising regions. Sweden is implementing circular economy solutions that reduce waste, repurpose resources, and limit climate risks. We can do the same for you.
Climate solutions include:
- Circular Business Models and Value Chain Integration - Product-as-a-service, reuse systems, and digital platforms embed circularity across sectors, reducing waste and enhancing resilience.
- Sustainable Materials and Pollution Reduction - Sweden develops fossil-free, plant-based, and compostable materials and microplastic filtration technologies, reducing pollution and fossil fuel use.
- Advanced Recycling and Material Recovery - High-tech sorting, urban mining, and refurbished material integration increase recycling rates and reduce emissions from raw material extraction.
- Climate-Resilient Water and Waste Systems - Integrated wastewater treatment, stormwater management, and flood protection enhance urban resilience and reduce pollution.
- Waste-to-Energy and Landfill Gas Recovery - Sweden captures methane from landfills and converts non-recyclable waste into energy, reducing emissions and landfill volumes.
- Organic Waste Treatment and Biogas Production - Food and agricultural waste is converted into biogas and biochar, reducing methane emissions and improving soil health.
- Finance Mechanisms - Green loans, export guarantees, and innovation funding support circular infrastructure and business models, especially in developing countries.
- Policy and Regulation - Sweden supports EPR schemes, landfill bans, carbon pricing, and circular economy legislation to drive systemic change in waste management.
