Who we collect from in Skelleftea
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 Skelleftea 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 Sweden
EU Battery Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 and the Swedish battery ordinance
Regulator: Swedish Environmental Protection Agency (Naturvardsverket)
The EU Battery Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 applies directly, replacing the old Batteries Directive with extended producer responsibility, collection and material recovery targets, recycled-content rules and, from February 2027, a digital battery passport for EV and larger industrial batteries. Swedish producers must report to the Environmental Protection Agency and provide take-back, often through collective schemes, and county administrative boards and municipalities supervise treatment sites.
- Register as a producer with the Environmental Protection Agency
- Provide take-back for EV and industrial batteries
- Use permitted treatment facilities
- Prepare battery passport data for in-scope batteries
