Stena Recycling and NOVENCO have worked closely together on the project ’Design for recycling’ at NOVENCO’s production facilities to increase the focus on recyclable materials and to optimise waste management in the production processes.

Rikke Helstrup, Head of Sustainable Business at Stena Recycling, says “At NOVENCO Building & Industry, an international market position is achieved, because they already develop sustainable products by focusing and investing in sustainability in the development phase.”
