In 2021 it received SEK 70.7 million (EUR 6.26 million) from the Swedish Energy Agency towards the cost of the new facility. Total investment amounts EUR 22 million.
LCO batteries used in electronics are usually estimated to have between 500 and 1000 cycles while an LFP or NCA battery in an energy storage system has been shown to be usable for over 2000 cycles before losing more than 20 percent of its capacity.
funding of battery research in Sweden, saw my early work they commissioned my company Circular Energy Storage to make an independent review of what''s actually out there.
El-Kretsen has around 5,000 battery bins. The batteries from these bins and the integrated batteries that are removed from other waste products amount to around 3,000 tonnes when added up.
Why should batteries be kept in Sweden? It is with this ability (together with local demand) that batteries can ultimately be retained in Sweden,and also attracted to Sweden from other countries,as this ensures the highest possible profitability for recycling.

The recycling efficiency per battery type of batteries received at the facility in 2022 from the producers, as well as how that recycling efficiency was calculated.
Almost all battery materials can be recycled and used in new products, but only if the batteries are sent for recycling. It''s crucial to send batteries to the right recycling facilities so they can be sorted and transformed into new products.
Stena Recycling has chosen a new technology for the recycling of lithium-ion batteries that is expected to provide a higher recycling rate and a lower climate impact than existing melting furnace technology.
The national strategy for a sustainable battery value chain is developed by the government initiative Fossil Free Sweden in cooperation with EIT InnoEnergy who also developed the foundation of the European Battery Strategy for the European Commission.
The recycling price of energy storage batteries varies widely depending on the complexity of the recycling process, the battery type, and the materials being recovered.
For batteries recycled in Sweden: The recycling facilities need to report the recycling efficiency of the batteries they receive to the competent authority (the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency, EPA).
The Swedish Energy Agency supports The Swedish Energy Agency gives Stena Recycling SEK 70.7 million in support for the investment in a new battery recycling plant in Halmstad. Stena Recycling's target is to become one of Europe's leading players in the recycling of lithium-ion batteries.
Of all the batteries that are collected in Sweden, the largest part is Alkaline, as much as 75%. Alkaline batteries are the most common single-use batteries – the ones you would put in your smoke detector, a remote control or in your children’s toys.
It is with this ability (together with local demand) that batteries can ultimately be retained in Sweden, and also attracted to Sweden from other countries, as this ensures the highest possible profitability for recycling.
Producers of batteries containing cadmium are charged with an environmental fee of 300 SEK per kilogram. The fee is issued by the Swedish EPA based on the producer´s annual report to the battery register. All batteries shall be labeled with a crossed-over wheeled bin. This is to prevent that consumed batteries are recycled among other waste.
If you are considered a producer you are required to follow the Swedish Ordinance (2008:834) on producer responsibility for batteries, which is the Swedish implementation of the EU directive 2006/66/EG on batteries and accumulators and waste batteries and accumulators.
