Stena Expands Refrigerator Recycling Facility in Germany

Stena Technoworld, a part of Sweden-based Stena Metall Group, has completed the expansion of its refrigerator recycling facility in Lauingen, Germany. The facility is able to process more than 360,000 refrigerators per year.

 

Stena Technoworld, a part of Stena Electronics Recycling, offers electronics recycling services throughout Europe. In addition to Sweden, the company has operations in Denmark, Norway, Finland, Poland, Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic, Romania and Italy.
 

“We offer customers the best technology available and achieve a high level of material recovery. Environmentally harmful Freon gas is taken care of in an extremely secure closed system,” Staffan Johansson, Stena Technoworld GmbH CEO, says. 
 

The newly completed Lauingen facility joins three other Stena Technoworld facilities in Germany: Wangerland, Langhagen and Baumholder. 

“This is Europe’s most modern facility for refrigerator recycling. With the best technology available, we can neutralize environmentally harmful Freon gas in a closed system. More than 97 percent of the material in refrigerators is recycled; the rest is refined into fuel,” Johansson adds.
