As EU regulations, including the Waste Framework Directive and the Landfill Directive, continue to tighten, companies face increasing pressure to reduce waste volumes, improve transparency and recover more materials. At the same time, customers and investors are demanding products and operations with a lower environmental impact. Zero Waste strategies are therefore becoming increasingly important for meeting regulatory requirements, strengthening competitiveness and building long-term resilience.

Stena Circular Consulting helps you turn your Zero Waste ambitions into action. We help you optimize complex waste streams, reduce hazardous waste and increase recycling. The goal is to keep more materials in circulation, move them higher up the waste hierarchy and create new value from resources that might otherwise be lost.

Stena Circular Consulting helps businesses develop and optimize sorting and recycling directly on site. By analyzing material flows, working methods and existing solutions, we identify opportunities to simplify handling and improve sorting. The result is a more efficient recycling setup that makes it easier to sort correctly, increases recycling rates and reduces unnecessary handling.

On-site improvement

For businesses looking to develop or improve recycling at their site, we provide support throughout the process, from design and implementation to optimizing sorting and recycling. We analyze material flows and ways of working to identify opportunities to simplify handling and improve sorting efficiency. The result is a more effective, well-functioning recycling setup that increases recycling rates and reduces unnecessary handling.

Waste-hierarchy acceleration

We help you reduce hazardous waste, divert materials from landfill and incineration, and create better conditions for recycling.

By mapping waste streams and identifying contamination and inefficient processes, we uncover practical opportunities to recover more materials and preserve their value. Through improved sorting and optimized processes, more materials can move higher up the waste hierarchy, while reducing both environmental impact and waste-management costs.

Waste-to-Value Development

We turn residual waste into market-ready material and product concepts. By identifying high-potential waste streams, we evaluate applications, conduct early-stage feasibility checks, and outline value-creation opportunities. Our structured process, from material assessment to concept-to-market pathways, helps businesses unlock new revenue streams and strengthen circularity through practical, implementable Waste-to-Value solutions.

From waste to valuable resources

We help you respond to evolving regulatory and market requirements by improving and optimizing your waste management. This can mean reducing waste sent to landfill, minimizing hazardous waste, or improving on-site sorting and recycling. Through data-driven solutions, we help you increase recycling rates and retain more of the value in your materials.

By combining our expertise with the operational experience of Stena Recycling Group, we develop solutions that are both practical and possible to implement.
