The Nordic countries are globally recognized as leaders in sustainability, with some of the most advanced waste management and recycling systems in the world. STADLER Anlagenbau GmbH, a pioneer in sorting systems and waste management solutions, is contributing to this leadership. With extensive experience, cutting-edge technology, in-depth local knowledge and strong regional presence it is enabling customers to meet ever-stricter recycling and environmental targets.听
“The Nordic markets demand solutions that are not only technologically advanced but also aligned with their strong environmental ethos,”听J眉rgen Berger, Head of International Sales at STADLER.听“With a strong track record in the region, we understand the specific needs of our customers and provide high-quality, future-proof solutions that help them maximize material recovery, improve operational performance, meet ambitious recycling targets, and deliver long-term value.”
To meet ambitious environmental goals, Nordic countries require waste management solutions that prioritize resource efficiency, carbon neutrality, and circular economy principles. STADLER leads the way with state-of-the-art sorting plants that leverage advanced technologies, including Artificial Intelligence, the Internet of Things, and robotics, to optimize material recovery and minimize waste, contributing to a circular economy.
An example is STADLER’s collaboration with Remeo Oy on a Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) in Finland, in the Greater Helsinki Region, that incorporates AI technology, advanced processes, and high automation to recover materials from Commercial & Industrial (C&I) and Construction & Demolition (C&D) waste. With an annual capacity of up to 180,000 metric tons, it contributes to Finland鈥檚 recycling rate of 70%.
STADLER has demonstrated its ability to tailor solutions for individual market needs in the Nordic region, supporting its customers鈥� circular economy and sustainability goals. In Denmark, STADLER partnered with Dansk Retursystem to create an automated high-capacity plant for PET bottles and aluminum cans collected through the country鈥檚 deposit return system. This highly flexible and automated plant ensures extremely efficient recycling.
In Norway, STADLER collaborated on the ROAF MSW sorting plant near Oslo 鈥� a fully automated facility which uses advanced optical sorting technology to recover plastics and biowaste from municipal waste. With long-term goals of achieving a 70% recycling rate by 2030, the facility has already improved recycling rates significantly. Another milestone project is STADLER鈥檚 recent contract with IVAR IKS for a new MSW sorting plant in Stavanger to be completed in 2027. With a capacity of up to 40 metric tons per hour, the plant will further enhance Norway’s recycling capabilities. In Fetsund, STADLER worked with Veolia PET Norge AS听to deliver a high-performance PET beverage bottle sorting system that integrates screening and advanced sorting technologies to meet Norway鈥檚 high efficiency and sustainability standards.
In Sweden, STADLER delivered the world鈥檚 first fully automated textile sorting plant in Malm枚, addressing a major gap in textile recycling. The facility uses near-infrared (NIR) technology to separate textile fibers, enabling efficient recycling and supporting the transition to a circular economy in the fashion and textile industries.
听STADLER鈥檚 success also lies in its strong after-sales support and customer commitment. Its strong local teams provide tailored maintenance services and rapid response times, ensuring long-term reliability and operational efficiency. Jan听Ostendarp, Head of PET Technology at Veolia: 鈥淚n our relationship with STADLER, we have always been impressed by the high quality and efficiency of its solutions, as well as the excellent collaboration before, during, and even after installation. If I had to sum up our experience of STADLER in a few words, I would say: reliable and high quality.鈥�
