companies increase their profitability by minimizing waste and maximizing recycling. Our customers should feel confident that we are taking care of their waste in a sustainable way and producing new raw material from it wherever possible. At the same time, we conduct research and development in order to meet the recycling challenges of tomorrow.” Cecilia Våg (CV): ”Stena Recycling is the

expert in material recycling. Where others see waste and problems, we see valuable resources and opportunities that we can

develop, together with our customers. We are always looking to return raw materials back into circulation.” In addition to research and development, how are you driving the business and the industry forward? CV: ”We invest in new recycling technologies.

Right now, we are building the Stena Nordic Recycling Center, the most modern recycling facility in the Nordic countries, which will be inaugurated in the fall of 2016. This investment will play a major role in helping Sweden achieve the conditions of the ELV Directive, which states that 95 percent of the volume of scrapped cars must be recycled. At the new facility, we are increasing the recycling rate and reducing the amount of material sent to landfill sites. In order to invest, we are dependent on the right leadership and forward thinking legislation. Stena Recycling affects these developments through its active involvement in the Swedish Recycling Industry Association and through our membership of the Haga Initiative.” What are the important factors for Stena Recycling right now from a sustainability perspective?

It’s not just about reducing the number of accidents, we also want to inspire customers and other stakeholders to think and act from a safety perspective. This creates a ripple effect and is an important part of our sustainability work” What progress was made in terms of climate impact in 2015? CV: ”By the end of 2015, all our facilities were

using renewable electricity with guarantee of origin labeling. The goal of the company is to reduce its carbon footprint by 40 percent by 2020. We are already well on our way to achieving this. In Örebro, we have signed the first contract with a transport company which uses HVO100 biofuel. We will be signing more of these contracts in 2016.”

CV: ”The life cycle perspective is increasingly

important. With our expertise in materials and recycling, we can help our customers improve many parts of their recycling chains. Safety work is also extremely important.

transport. In recent years, annual rail transportation has replaced around 10,000 road journeys. We have adapted our geographic structure and concentrated certain production processes in a few locations, which has reduced transportation. In 2015, major work was begun to streamline transportation between our facilities. All this means that the number of kilometers driven, for each tonne of treated material, will be significantly reduced in the years to come.”

What imminent challenges do you foresee?

It starts here. This is how we see recycling and sustainable development. It’s a job that never ends. It starts here and now, every day, in all areas of industry and society. In June 2015, we produced a film that briefly and simply shows how we see our journey into the future together. The film shows how every contribution counts - every step towards an economic use of resources and better recycling is valuable. The key to success is working together. Together, we can get materials to live on and create conditions for sustainable development. Stena Recycling’s expertise, close relationships with its customers, research and development and industrial capacity for material recycling are our contributions toward creating a sustainable future.

SP: ”Our ability to adapt. 2015 was marked

by change - including major swings in commodity prices. Our adaptability while, at the same time, supporting our customers through the changes is vital. We get deeply involved in the value chains of our customers’ and drive the sustainability work forward. We identify and propose improvements that create value.”

IT STARTS HERE.

SP: ”The European Commission has proposed

a new package of legislation towards achieving a circular economy. This will involve some new challenges for society. We will need to see greater cooperation between recycling companies and other industries. In 2016, Stena Recycling is conducting a series of seminars on sustainable business in order to encourage this. It is our conviction that we can create greater value through collaborative work with both customers and society at large.”

value. Through this approach, we create smart solutions for the recycling of almost any conceivable material, over and over again. Since 2015, we have summarized this in three words: It starts here.

A CHANGING WORLD

A CHANGING WORLD

A NEW GLOBAL AGENDA FOR SUSTAINABILITY 2015 was a great year for sustainability, with several major events that will move the world in a more sustainable direction. In September, the UN adopted 17 global sustainability goals that replaced the Millennium Development Goals. At the Paris Climate Conference, world leaders agreed to a legally binding global climate deal. In December, the European Commission launched a package of proposals for new directives to encourage a circular economy. This affects us all, businesses as well as individuals. The Swedish Radio Program Sommar, aired on July 12, 2015, had global sustainability as its theme. Despite this “heavy” subject being broadcast in the middle of the holiday season, the program was one of the most popular radio programs of the summer - and the one of the most shared on social media. Environmental researcher, Johan Rockström, described 2015 as a decisive year. He talked about the risks we face, but also said that things look more hopeful than before, not least because of the big decisions on the agenda in 2015:   ”There is growing interest in the idea that sustainability is an opportunity, rather than a burden ... I see strong signs that the business community, especially, is embracing the possibility of making the transition to a sustainable world. ”

This is how we see sustainability at Stena Recycling. Working sustainably is essential if we are to create value, together with our customers, today as well as tomorrow.

strategy, Energy Commission proposals, as well as its policies on global development and foreign aid. All this will affect Swedish companies in a major way.

UN global sustainability goals

Several of the new sustainability goals require increasing recycling rates, the safe disposal of hazardous waste and the detoxification of materials in circulation, for example: • Goal 9: Sustainable industry, innovation and infrastructure • Goal 11: Sustainable towns and communities • Goal 12: Sustainable consumption and production • Goal 13: Combating climate change   Stena Recycling has an important role to play in achieving these goals - with its expertise in design for recycling, modern

The UN held its summit on Global Sustainable Development Goals in New York from September 25 to 27, 2015. The member states adopted 17 new targets, which replace the Millennium Development Goals. The new goals are more specific and comprehensive than the previous ones. They cover the major issues concerning social and environmental sustainability and will be crucial to global sustainability efforts over the next decade. Sustainability is likely to be a major theme in many upcoming initiatives from the Swedish government concerning export

waste management solutions, investment in new technology and research and development. Together with our customers, universities and other stakeholders, we can help reach these goals. Increased collaboration between policy makers, academic institutions, the private sector and society at large has been identified as critical to achieving the UN targets. This fits in with Stena Recycling’s commitment to inspire cooperation between companies, universities and society, for example, through seminars on sustainable business.

The climate deal in Paris Just after half past eight on the evening of December 12, history was made at the COP21 Paris Climate Conference. For the first time, a global, legally binding climate agreement was reached. This has created a framework for climate work for many years to come. It states

that global temperature increase must be kept well below 2 degrees and that efforts should be made to limit it to 1.5 degrees. This will require new initiatives to limit greenhouse gas emissions. Industry will play a crucial role in these efforts. Greater recycling is one of the several important measures required. Compared to extracting new materials from forests, oil reserves and mines, recycling uses significantly less energy, resulting in significantly lower carbon emissions. For example, Stena Recycling contributed to the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions by three million tonnes in 2015. Reducing emissions caused by road transportation is another critical factor. In fall 2015, the Swedish government decided to become one of the world’s first fossil-free welfare countries. In the same year, Stena Recycling began the transformation of its own logistics apparatus. The first agreement to use trucks running on HVO100 fossil-free fuel was made in November for transportation in and around Örebro. More of these agreements will follow.

The EU package of a circular economy In early December, the European Commission presented a new package of legislative proposals and an action plan to boost Europe’s transition to a circular economy. Through these measures, the Commission is seeking to increase global competitiveness, promote sustainable economic growth and create new jobs.

The proposals focus on product design, manufacturing, consumption, waste management and the market for recycled materials. The overall aim is to optimize the use of resources, facilitate reuse and increase recycling. The European Commission estimates that 170,000 new jobs will be created, solely as a result of the proposals for the increased recycling of waste. Increasing recycling begins at the production stage. Correct product design is crucial to facilitating recycling and avoiding material combinations which can reduce the quality of recycled raw materials. Therefore, design for recycling is a specific part of the package under discussion in the Ecodesign Directive. Stena Recycling has offered a design for recycling service for many years. We collaborate with many of our customers on analysis and reporting in order to provide a basis for more sustainable product design. The EU proposals mean that this will probably be a growth area over the next five years. The move towards creating a circular economy will present many challenges for the industry. This is an exciting and important initiative and Stena Recycling, in collaboration with customers, universities and other stakeholders, will take a significant role in achieving European sustainability efforts.

throughout the whole chain, from product design and manufacturing to recycling and supplying raw materials. During 2015, in collaboration with over 56,000 customers, Stena Recycling took care of 2.7 million tonnes of discarded products and waste from a wide range of businesses. Most of this was processed into quality raw materials for the manufacture of new products by customers around the world. The spectrum is wide. We empty recycling bins of cardboard and soft plastics at small stores, as well as providing major industrial clients with customized solutions for large quantities of material. Our recycling work is conducted at over 80 facilities around the country. Analyses are carried out by skilled employees with extensive material knowledge. These materials are broken down and processed in

many different ways. Complex products, such as scrapped cars, pass through our powerful mills, which cut up the material before being passed on to automated sorting processes. The end products are high-quality raw materials, which are supplied to steelworks, smelters, paper and plastic manufacturers in Sweden and 30 other countries. A smaller proportion is converted into fuel for district heating facilities that supply environmentally sound heat and electricity to households and industry. Thanks to our close dialogue with customers, we can deliver exactly the qualities they want, saving costs and making their processes more efficient. We also contribute expertise in resource management and waste minimization in

THE MOST MODERN RECYCLING PLANT IN THE NORDIC COUNTRIES In 2015, the installation of new recycling technologies began at the Stena Nordic Recycling Center in Halmstad. This is Stena Recycling’s largest ever production investment. The new automated sorting processes will increase recycling rates considerably. Better recycling leaves less waste behind. Landfill quantities will be halved compared with today. The Halmstad location was selected due to its central position in relation to other Nordic countries. Access to efficient road and rail networks, as well as Halmstad’s port, guarantee sustainable transportation at this new recycling hub. Through collaboration with customers, governments and universities we will utilize and develop all the opportunities the Stena Nordic Recycling Center offers. The installation of new technology will continue, in phases, over a number of years. The Stena Nordic Recycling Center will be inaugurated in fall 2016.

STAKEHOLDER DIALOGUE AND MATERIALITY ANALYSIS

STAKEHOLDER DIALOGUE AND MATERIALITY ANALYSIS

STAKEHOLDER DIALOGUE AND MATERIALITY ANALYSIS Our sustainability work is guided by what our stakeholders think is important. We have ongoing dialogues, at many levels, with customers, employees, authorities and other stakeholders. Dialogue and materiality analysis are separated into six focus areas which are reported on over the following pages.

A sustainable business is built by committed employees who act responsibly to meet the expectations and wishes of the world outside the company. This is one of several factors that create sustainable, value-creating businesses. Stena Recycling’s customers come from many different industries and sectors of society. Finding out what is important to them is fundamental to our sustainability work. As well as customers and employees, other key stakeholders are our owners, suppliers and license-granting authorities. Since the majority of our facilities are located close to residential buildings and other businesses, neighbors are also important stakeholders. At the same time, we monitor what is happening in the global arena that may affect our customers and our industry. In 2015, stakeholder dialogue took the form of day-to-day customer meetings, interviews with customers and ongoing

contact with other stakeholders. Customer Satisfaction Index surveys and employee surveys form another part of our analysis. Important information is also gained from the requirements of procurement procedures and when our operations are audited by those we cooperate with. This, in combination with what is important to Stena Recycling, has resulted in six focus areas (see the right-hand column). Within each focus area, we undertake various activities in order to ultimately achieve our overall sustainability targets: Sustainability is an integral part of our business. Our core values, Simplicity, Reliability and Development, put into words how we work and how we wish to be perceived - both within Stena Recycling and when collaborating with the world outside the company. Our owners clear values and principles form the basis of everything we do.

Comparative environmental benefits of recycling and our CO2 emissions

RESOURCE EFFICIENCY.

The white circle represents the quantity of potential carbon dioxide emissions if the materials we produced by recycling had been produced from virgin raw materials. The green circle shows the size of our own environmental impact in 2014 and 2015 respectively.

Resource efficiency reduces environmental impact and preserves resources for us, our customers and society.

2015

Stena Recycling’s core business is to find the most resource-efficient way to make use of materials and increase the proportion of waste that can be used as raw material, again and again. At the same time, we

2014

want to make our carbon footprint as small as possible. Our climate impact decreased radically in 2015 through the use of renewable electricity in our facilities. In order to improve and develop its business, Stena Recycling operates according to the Stena Way of Production (SWOP) and the Stena Way of Branches (SWOB), a lean approach to production and branch procedure. The goal is to increase the value of materials, raise productivity, reduce costs and improve safety - by clarifying objectives in a transparent and structured way. This ensures that we create as much value as possible, together with our customers. In 2015, SWOB was introduced at 25 branches. The aim is to introduce this to the remaining branches during 2016. SWOP has already been introduced at all major production facilities. As a result, facility utilization has increased by 4.8 percent between 2012 and 2015. It is Stena Recycling’s aim to significantly reduce its carbon footprint. This was

dramatically reduced, during 2015, by the use of electricity from hydroelectric power stations. Since 2008, we have reduced our emissions by 36 percent. The goal is a reduction of 40 percent by 2020, in line with our commitment to the Haga Initiative company network. Full climate reporting is published together with the other Haga Initiative member companies (see hagainitiativet.se). Transportation represents a significant part of Stena Recycling’s business. As major transportation consumers, we aim to improve industry practice by demanding environmentally sound solutions, with safety as a core issue. These improvements will benefit our customers and society as a whole. Read more about improvements made over the past year on the next page.

Total emissions The company’s total carbon dioxide emissions in relation to tonnes of collected material. The company’s overall goal is to reduce its climate impact by 40% between 2008 and 2020. This is a relative target, measured in relation to the quantity of material collected.

Stena Recycling works continuously to reduce its climate impact and manage logistics in the most efficient and safe way possible. Here are some of this year’s improvements. Renewable fuel reduces climate impact. In August 2015, the first contract was signed with a carrier using HVO100 biofuel for local transportation. HVO100 reduces greenhouse gas emissions by up to 90 percent compared with fossil-based diesel. Stena Recycling will encourage more of its carriers to change over to renewable fuels as refueling possibilities become more widely available. Train capacity increases by nine percent. For many years, Stena Recycling has been transferring from road to rail transportation. In 2015, rail capacity increased by nine percent with the purchase of ten new rail wagons, raising the total from 112 to 122. With the operator Green Cargo, we have good access to rail services, even in smaller towns. Most rail transportation uses electric locomotives carrying the Bra Miljöval marking (Good Environmental Choice). Four trucks become three. In 2015, Stena Recycling increased the standard volume of its road haulage trailers from 35 to 42 cubic meters. In 2016, tests are being carried out using 45 and 47.5 cubic meter road haulage trailers. Each truck hauls three cargo trailers, which means that, for the company’s long-haul operations, every fourth journey can be avoided.

Combination trucks replace single trailers. Incoming transportation in the area around each Stena Recycling facility is regulated by an optimized zoning system. This states that longer journeys (over 15-20 km) should use combination trucks to haul several different types of load carriers. This reduces the need for single trailer journeys. Online Portal saves excess journeys. A web portal for the administration of incoming transportation was created within the company in 2015 and became operational in 2016. This has an inbuilt function for route optimization, as well as measurement and monitoring. This makes transportation more efficient, reduces the number of journeys made and means fewer trucks on the roads. Requirements for automatic coverage. All trucks used for single shipments to our facilities are equipped with automatic coverage systems. This has been a requirement since 2015, which reduces the risk of injuries to drivers and increases safety on public roads. Trucks with multiple compartments - several journeys in one. It is an ongoing process to use trucks with multiple compartments at an increasing number of locations around the country in order to reduce transportation overall.

VALUE-CREATION. Value-creating solutions pave the way for long-term business that benefits our customers, the environment and society. Stena Recycling has been creating sustainable recycling solutions, together with customers in every industry, for over 75 years. Now we have made another step forward. In 2015, we launched Stena Resource Management, where our experts analyze customers’ processes and present solutions to increase material recycling in the most efficient way possible. Stena Recycling has 56,000 customers in different industries, from all sectors of society. Value can mean different things to different customers, depending on their needs. It may mean making the best use of resources, efficiency, saving space, improving recycling rates or having control over how material is recycled and where it ends up. It may also mean providing environmental training for their staff or turning costs into revenue by finding the right outlet for a certain type of waste. Stena Recycling has offered all these services for many years. Stena Resource Management takes another step forward by looking deeper into where improvements can be made. We contribute a greater number of resources and make a more comprehensive analysis. The solutions that result from this will be different for each customer. Overall, it concerns recycling more material, efficient use of space, automating the handling of materials and reducing transportation. The ambition for 2016 is to apply Stena Resource Management to an increasing number of customers. The more we get involved in customer processes, the more effective we can be at refining production and other waste into quality assured raw materials and fuel. Design for recycling is an important element that leads to the manufacturing of products that are easy to recycle. During 2015, we carried out design for

recycling work for a number of customers, analyzing several of their products. We have also conducted lectures on the topic at our customers’ workplaces and at the Chalmers University of Technology, in Göteborg. We see this as key to better recycling in the future. In 2016, we aim to set new goals for our design for recycling work. By carrying out Customer Satisfaction Index surveys, Stena Recycling measures how satisfied customers are with our value-creation work. The last survey was conducted in 2014. The results showed that the percentage of satisfied or very satisfied customers was slightly lower than in the previous survey. On the basis of this, a comprehensive improvement program was initiated. With new industry-specific offerings, an improved sales organization and new communication strategies, the goal is to increase the proportion of satisfied and very satisfied customers to 90 percent.

HEALTH & SAFETY

T H E C O R N E R S TO N E S O F OUR SAFETY WORK Risk assessments and improvements Safety, in the form of risk assessments and improvement measures, are discussed daily at all levels within the company.

Training All employees must undergo two safety-training courses, specially created by Stena Recycling - a comprehensive e-learning program and a full-day training course in our systematic behavior-based safety work. Work is under way to develop specific e-learning courses. The first will be a training course for sub-contractors.

A new reporting system for the whole group A new reporting system was introduced in 2015. With this, any employee can report safety breaches, incidents and accidents. The same system registers Safety Walks and suggestions for improvement.

Safety Walks Safety Walks are carried out by all employees in order to increase knowledge about safety issues and risks in the workplace. An essential part of the Safety Walk is to discuss and promote safe behavior.

The Swedish model A tool to identify and minimize the company’s risks by drawing on expertise and canvasing ideas from employees around the country.

Safety Board The Safety Board consists of representatives from the five safety areas; Safety, Security, Fire Protection, Transportation and HR. It discusses current safety and security issues concerning the company and reports to the company’s management.

tool for reporting, analysis and monitoring. Accidents do not just happen, they are caused. All accidents can be avoided through risk analysis, preventive measures and by each employee acting in a risk-aware, safe way in any situation. From this comes our vision of ”a Stena Recycling without accidents”, which forms the basis of Stena Recycling’s systematic safety work. This doesn’t just concern safety at our own facilities, it is as also about extending this approach to all the external companies that we use to transport material to and from our branches and production units. Each driver must be as risk-conscious and safety-oriented as our own employees. We offer solutions that include a range of services which contribute to improved safety at our customers’ workplaces. This is necessary when our customers need to handle recyclable materials in-house - it is

important that these materials are sorted correctly and that proper protective equipment is used. With safety consulting, training in the handling of dangerous goods and hazardous waste, environmental training and other advisory services, we contribute to our customers’ safety work. One of the challenges facing systematic safety work is to maintain and increase the willingness to register incidents and safety breaches. The same challenge is faced in investigating, analyzing and monitoring what is being reported. Success requires everyone in the company to share the same vision and understand that each individual’s actions matter. Training, a good support system and strong commitment from the management are all important building blocks in our future safety work.

Amount of Safety Walks in 2015 The introduction of Safety Walks has been well received throughout the organization. The modest target of 2,400 Safety Walks was exceeded and 4,218 Safety Walks were conducted at facilities in 2015. As work is under way to develop the quality of Safety Walks, the quantitative target for 2016 remains unchanged.

Use of health promotion grants The company offers SEK 1,500 per year in health promotion grants to all employees. In 2015, 49 percent utilized all or part of this sum.

Sick leave In 2015, sick leave within the company remained at the same level as 2014. In contrast, absence due to sick leave has increased in society as a whole. We have begun systematic efforts concerning working environments and safety issues that take a proactive approach to the promotion of good health.

Employee Index, total results

Competent and committed employees are the key to success. Our employees are the foundation of our success. It is built into the culture of Stena Recycling that every employee should have the opportunity and is expected to contribute to continuous improvement through problem solving and innovative customer solutions. Collaboration within Stena Recycling and with our customers should be simple, reliable and promote development, in accordance with our core values. Together, we create value and improvements for ourselves and our customers. In 2015, Stena Recycling continued its efforts to create the best possible conditions for its employees and management to thrive and evolve, in order to contribute to both company and customer success. Through sustained work to develop expertise and leadership, our goal is to have “the industry’s most competent employees.” Expertise and the ability to put knowledge into practice ensure the high quality of our recycling work. In 2015, 561 employees took one or more training courses, including: • Leadership Initiative - Internal program for the development of long-term management. • Lift to leadership (Lyft till ledare) - Stena Recycling’s program for training future managers. • Trainee - Program for future Stena Recycling employees. • Safety Training - A package of programs to eliminate workplace accidents. • Product and Material Knowledge - Major investment to expand expertise, which is crucial to our success.

• Code of conduct - E-learning course, based on dilemmas, which brings the code of conduct to life. • Stena Story - E-learning course about our business and history that creates pride and commitment. Stena Recycling seeks to create healthy and motivating work places, characterized by diversity and openness. We believe this is the best way to achieve our goals and to attract (and keep) talented employees. Therefore in 2016, we will be increasing our focus on safety, health, gender equality and diversity. In order to improve working environments and health issues, we carry out training programs and action plans based on the results of our annual employee survey. We aim to develop our existing workforce and to attract future employees with a specific focus on equality and diversity. A long-term program to retain and recruit women has also been initiated in 2016. This particularly applies to traditionally male professions within Stena Recycling and the industry as a whole.

Stena Voice is an employee survey which is regularly conducted throughout the Stena Metall Group. The company’s figures for 2015 revealed a marginal improvement. The areas measured are: management objectives, organisation, as well as innovation and learning. The scale has five grades.

RESPONSIBLE RELATIONSHIPS.

As a leading recycling company, Stena Recycling takes an active role in society, in many ways. With operations at more than 80 locations across Sweden, we are good neighbors and active participants in local community issues. At a national and European level, we are involved in shaping legislation and

directives to promote effective recycling and resource management in a fair and competitive market. With over 75 years in the recycling business, Stena Recycling has valuable expertise and experience in recycling and resource management throughout society. Through our commitment to the Haga Initiative and the Swedish Recycling Industry Association (Återvinningsindustrierna), amongst other things, we are helping society become more sustainable. Activities undertaken during 2015 have included producing debate articles, reports, seminars, letters to government departments and taking part in panel discussions at political events, such as Almedalen. Stena Recycling also acts as a consultative body, for example, on legislation affecting Swedish waste management. We have also been involved in work on the new EU circular economy proposals, including several meetings with EU politicians and officials

Research and Development

CLIMATE WORK IN THE HAGA INITIATIVE In December 2015, the European Commission presented a package of legislative proposals which will stimulate the transition to a circular economy. Stena Recycling has contributed its valuable skills and experience to the work on these legislative proposals.

Stena Recycling is one of the founding members of the Haga Initiative. This is a network of businesses working to reduce industry emissions and highlight climate issues by showing that ambitious climate strategies can offer business advantages and increased profitability. All the members have committed to reducing their emissions by 40 percent by 2020. A joint climate report is presented annually, which evaluates impact, objectives and improvement measures.

Our research and development department collaborates with several universities and colleges, as well as participating in other networks and organizations, on developing future recycling methods. The Stena Metall Group finances a unique professorship in industrial recycling at Chalmers University of Technology in Göteborg. This is an ongoing research project, including research into the recycling of precious and rare earth metals. We are promoting the idea that landfill material should be divided into two classes; one for currently unusable material, but which may be processed in the future, and another for waste that should be taken out of circulation – such as asbestos. In order to achieve this, the legislation concerning landfill recycling should be reviewed. At a national level, we have long been

involved in efforts to combat metal theft. The introduction of scrap trading permits and a ban on cash transactions for scrap metal are measures that we consider necessary.

A good neighbor Stena Recycling’s 83 facilities are spread across Sweden. A local presence is an important part of offering sustainable solutions as it reduces transportation to our branches. At many locations, we have houses and other businesses as near neighbors. This creates strict demands concerning issues such as noise and smell. Through personal contact, open house events and meetings, we get the views of local residents and work on improvement measures in order to make as little impact as possible. A major investment in new shearing equipment for ferrous scrap in 2015, was one example where the introduction of new equipment reduced noise levels. The new machinery uses fossil fuel-free electricity instead of diesel. We work systematically to prevent accidents and are required to operate within the terms of approximately 150 permits in order to conduct our business. Despite this, unfortunate events sometimes occur. In 2013, a workplace accident occurred in Sundsvall, about which the Work Environment Authority (Arbetsmiljöverket) made an indictment in 2015. At our Varberg facility, measurements were taken on two occasions (2014 and 2015) concerning the high zinc levels in surface water. This led to a prosecution, though the case from 2015 has not yet been taken up by prosecutors. Several steps have been taken in order to keep zinc levels within the permissible limits.

Registered complaints All complaints and disruptions caused by our operations are recorded and monitored. In cases of recurring complaints, local residents and neighboring businesses are invited to participate in efforts to find satisfactory solutions. In 2015, we received 18 registered complaints regarding smell (1), dust (1), noise (3), litter (4) and infringements of conditions (9).

Consultation In 2015, we initiated a consultation process regarding a permit application in Karlskrona.

Checks on suppliers when purchasing goods and services We review suppliers from a risk perspective and select those that meet the requirements of our Code of Conduct and work actively on environmental and quality issues. The majority of our suppliers are located in Europe. In 2015, no on-the-spot reviews were made. In 2015, all new suppliers signed the Code of Conduct. By continually increasing the share of purchases made through contracts, we avoid the risk of buying products using production processes that do not conform to our standards. In 2015, the number of purchases from approved suppliers rose by 25 percent over the previous year.

PROFITABILITY. Profitability is a requirement for future investment in environmental and social development. In 2015, we saw an accelerating fall in the prices of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. This increases the need to work closely with our customers and maintain high levels of internal efficiency, while keeping close checks on sales of recycled raw materials. Prices for ferrous and non-ferrous metals have been in decline since 2011, due to excess supply that has not yet adjusted to lower levels of demand. As China’s growth slowed, prices fell at an increasing rate in the latter part of 2015. The pressure is intense on companies producing raw materials, including recycling companies, around the world. Stena Recycling reacts to this situation with cost saving measures and by generating higher recycling rates. Increasing recycling rates means that we can extract more material and thus create greater value. During the last financial year, we invested SEK 288 million in new recycling technologies, an increase of more than 70 million over the previous year. A major event in 2015 was the installation of more efficient, energy-saving shearing equipment for ferrous processing in Skövde, Timrå and Hallstahammar. At the same time, development of the Stena Nordic Recycling Center in Halmstad is gaining momentum. The first process was set up in the fall of 2015 and will be fully operational from spring 2016. Phase two will begin in the fall of 2016.

In the short term, it is unlikely that prices for ferrous and non-ferrous metals will experience a sustained upturn. Continuing with our internal measures and maintaining close collaboration with customers are key to creating sustainable value, despite the state of the world market. The sales opportunities provided by Stena Metal International, the Stena Metall Group’s sales company, are also very important.

Non-ferrous metal prices Prices for copper, aluminum and nickel have been falling over the past five years. Stena Recycling has continued to invest in its facilities in order to increase both capacity and the recycling rates of the fractions that it processes. This makes it possible to remain competitive, while continuing to create environmental benefits and profitability, despite the pressures of falling metal prices.

CUSTOMER SOLUTIONS

CUSTOMER SOLUTIONS

CUSTOMER SOLUTIONS THAT CREATE VALUE

SMART RESOURCE MANAGEMENT REDUCES COSTS

Value-creating partnerships in resource-smart and profitable recycling can be found all over the country. Here are some examples that show the breadth of Stena Recycling’s business.

SHIP BREAKING – THE RIGHT WAY For just over 30 years, the M/S Sigyn was SKB’s transport vessel for nuclear fuel. When she was taken out of service, SKB set high standards for her environmentally adapted dismantling. The contract was awarded to Stena Recycling, who decontaminated and dismantled the entire ship in 2015. With correct sorting and good sales opportunities, a high recycling rate was achieved. Many components could be reused instead of being recycled - everything from lifeboats to motors could be removed and used on other vessels. As with previous Stena Recycling ship breaking assignments, as much of the material was moved up the waste hierarchy as possible.

DESIGN FOR TOMORROW’S COFFEE MACHINES Crem International is a world-leading manufacturer of coffee machines, with the well-known brands Coffee Queen, Expobar and Spengler. Stena Recycling provides recycling solutions for their Swedish production facility, as well as design for recycling. One such assignment was to dismantle a coffee machine and analyze its materials and construction. This work provides valuable information for product developers when the next generation of coffee machines are designed. With the right materials and design, products are easier to recycle and more sustainable from a lifecycle perspective.   Other clients we have assisted in recent years include Cleanmotion, Husqvarna, Aastra Telecom, Camfil, Irstaskåp, Grundfos and 3M.

85 YEAR OLD BRIDGE BECOMES 600 TONNES OF RAW MATERIAL In the spring and summer of 2015, the Årsta bridge, one of the most important railway bridges in Stockholm, underwent renovation work. One 60-meter, 350-tonne center section and 14 14-meter sections were dismantled and replaced. The size of the sections presented a major challenge, as well as the fact that they had been treated with environmentally hazardous lead oxide. After making some adjustments, Stena Recycling was able to accommodate the smaller sections at its own plant in Södertälje, while the largest section was cut up at a suitable location in the Port of Södertälje. Within a short time, everything was cut up and ready for delivery to a steel mill with the facility to process lead oxide coated steel. In total, 600 tonnes of steel was recycled into new raw material. 100 tonnes of creosotetreated railway sleepers were also taken care of in an environmentally sound manner, by being delivered to an approved plant for energy recovery.

Plastal manufactures fenders and other plastic parts for the automotive industry in Göteborg. The company has a clear focus on the environment and is proactive about waste management issues. Stena Recycling made an extensive inventory that resulted in significantly improved resource economies for Plastal.   Among other measures, we have reclassified large amounts of waste which led to significantly lower costs. Two powerful new compactors for cardboard, combustible materials and wood, as well as a large wood crushing machine, have contributed to fewer waste shipments and further cost reductions. Our collaboration has also resulted in us recycling their plastic granules, which is a great deal for Plastal.

Local authorities in the Skaraborg region of Sweden have stringent targets when it comes to their sustainability work. Today, Stena Recycling handles scrap metal, cardboard, wood and impregnated wood from over 100,000 Skaraborg residents, which is collected at recycling centers where good service is vital. These operations have been built up gradually, including the installation of webcams so that waste can be taken away at exactly the right time. Stena Recycling also delivers fuel produced from recycled material to climate smart district heating facilities in Skövde that serve both households and businesses. Metals are also sorted for recycling, offering major environmental benefits. In 2016, the local authority aims to deliver 100 percent fossil-free heating – Stena Recycling is helping them achieve this target.

Special Award frOM Volvo Cars Stena Recycling is one of Volvo Cars’ appointed best suppliers. In 2015, we were awarded Volvo Cars Award of Excellence, in the “Special Award” category. This was due to our long-term and reliable partnership in sustainable recycling that views car production from a life cycle perspective. Through continuous development and improvements, Stena Recycling contributes to the circular flow of material. This benefits all parties in the production and maintenance of current and future vehicles. Stena Recycling has taken care of recycling at all Volvo Cars’ facilities in Sweden for many years.

70% TONNES OF STEEL COULD BE RECYCLED INTO NEW RAW MATERIAL

LOCAL AUTHORITIES WITH EXACTING SUSTAINABILITY GOALS

70% of all the heat consumed in the Nybro area is produced by energy recovery.

QUALITY ASSURED FUEL IN NYBRO In 2015, Nybro Energi began construction of a new cogeneration plant that will produce climate smart heating and electricity through the energy recovery of waste. Stena Recycling supplies approximately 60,000 tonnes of material to the plant per year. A sorting facility has been built next to the plant which offers several positive benefits:

• Metals are removed from the fuel and can be recycled instead of being incinerated. • The incinerator produces cleaner ash. • The load on the incinerator is reduced, which reduces future maintenance costs for the customer. Energy recovery accounts for 70% of the heat and 25% of the electricity consumed in the Nybro area.

RECYCLING MAKES A DIFFERENCE! A sustainability report can have a long life. Paper fibers can be recycled five or six times before becoming unusable. We would love to have this report back when you have finished with it! The recycling of one single report saves enough energy to power a 9W energy saving lamp for more than 90 minutes a day, for a whole year.
