Who we collect from in Fredrikstad
Manufacturing clusters generate production scrap and off-spec cells during line ramp-up, warranty returns from early vehicles, and validation packs from test tracks. The material is usually single-chemistry and well documented, which makes it some of the cleanest feed in the network.
- Cell and pack assembly plants
- Tier-one module suppliers
- Vehicle assembly lines
- Validation and test centres
How a Fredrikstad collection runs
We run scheduled scrap collections from plant gates and tier-one suppliers, with dedicated bins per chemistry and a weighbridge reconciliation against each supplier's scrap log. Off-spec cells that never entered a vehicle are graded separately because their value profile is different from end-of-life packs.

The rules in Norway
EU battery rules as adopted through the EEA Agreement and the Norwegian Waste Regulations
Regulator: Norwegian Environment Agency (Miljodirektoratet)
Norway applies EU battery legislation through the EEA Agreement. Producers must join an approved take-back scheme, and EV batteries must be collected and treated by permitted operators. Norway was an early EV adopter, so it is one of the first countries to see significant end-of-life EV volumes.
- Join an approved producer responsibility scheme
- Hand retired packs only to permitted treatment operators
- Report volumes to the environment agency
- Follow EEA-adopted battery passport and recycled-content rules as they apply
