NewswireTODAY - /newswire/ - Stockholm, Sweden, 2025/12/02 - The project aims to accelerate Sweden’s transition toward a circular and resilient energy system by connecting industrial innovation, recycling expertise, research, and value chain responsibility - Rebaba.se / StenaRecycling.com.

Stena Recycling is part of a new national collaboration together with Rebaba (rebaba.se), OKQ8 Group, Smartports, and RISE Research Institutes of Sweden, to launch an industry-wide initiative to scale up a circular, responsible, and traceable battery value chain. From testing of EV batteries to second-life deployment in energy storage systems, and finally to recycling at end of life.

The project aims to accelerate Sweden’s transition toward a circular and resilient energy system by connecting industrial innovation, recycling expertise, research, and value chain responsibility. It will also deliver practical benefits for EV charging site operators by enabling them to reduce energy costs and avoid costly grid upgrades.

“This collaboration is in line with our strategy to be a circular partner to the industry and contribute to increasing circularity in society. We see major environmental and commercial benefits in extending the life of batteries by using them in other applications, instead of sending them directly for recycling," says Marcus Martinsson, Product Area Manager Batteries at Stena Recycling Group.

The project has been awarded support from Vinnova, Sweden’s innovation agency, under the call Scaling a sustainable battery value chain. The total project value is approximately EURO 2.4 million, of which EURO 1.1 million is funded by Vinnova.
