Known for precision equipment and tailored facility design, STADLER has been steadily expanding its footprint across the region. The company’s approach is rooted in understanding the unique legal frameworks and environmental expectations in each country. STADLER adapts its technologies to fit the specific waste streams and recycling goals of each client rather than attempting to provide a one-size-fits-all solution.
In Finland, a standout example is the materials recovery facility near Helsinki, operated by Remeo Oy. Designed and equipped by STADLER, the plant handles over 180,000 tonnes of construction, demolition, and industrial waste annually. Automation, AI-enabled sorting, and robotics allow it to reach high material recovery rates, contributing to Finland’s broader 70% recycling rate—a benchmark among EU countries.
Sweden, meanwhile, is tackling the difficult challenge of textile recycling. STADLER played a key role in establishing the country’s first fully automated textile sorting plant in Malmö. Using near-infrared sorting, the system separates fiber types at scale, a major advancement in addressing the fashion industry's recycling gap.
STADLER’s impact is visible in a range of market-specific projects across the Nordics, where each country presents distinct waste handling regulations and infrastructure needs.
In Denmark, a project with Dansk Retursystem led to the development of a high-throughput plant designed for PET bottles and aluminum cans collected via the national deposit return scheme. Engineered for speed and precision, the facility strengthens Denmark’s closed-loop recycling capacity.
Norway, with a strong national focus on reducing plastic waste, has also benefited from STADLER’s systems. The ROAF facility near Oslo processes mixed municipal waste, using optical sorting to separate plastics and organics from residual household waste. STADLER’s involvement continues in the country, with a recent contract awarded by IVAR IKS for a new sorting plant in Stavanger, planned for completion in 2027.
Across all of these projects, local presence matters. STADLER has built long-term relationships in the Nordic region by investing in after-sales service and regional support hubs.
