Recycling

The recycling industry has developed over the years into a capital-intensive large-scale industry with stringent environmental requirements. We offer complete solutions for recycling iron and metal scrap and other residual products, such as paper, plastic and wood. Regardless of whether you are working within industry, the construction sector or municipal operations, we have well-thought-out solutions for efficient management. We identify needs, listen and try to find improvements. We develop the right type of carriers and ensure that they are emptied at the right time. Järnmalmer processes iron and metal scrap at its own facility in Göteborg; other residual products are dealt with by approved subcontractors.

In partnership with Chalmers University of Göteborg, Järnmalmer has developed a concept called Zero Waste. This gives our customers access via our online portal to real-time statistics about waste, potential deviations, settlements, trend information, etc. Above all, your company or organisation will gain information about how your recycling efforts affect the environment. This information is based on carbon emissions in relation to extraction of primary raw materials. You can see how your emissions compare with those of other companies. Our purpose is to highlight the environmental impact of a business and, by quantifying the amount of emissions, enable them to make changes and introduce efficiencies so that they can operate in a far more environmentally-adapted manner. As a customer of Järnmalmer you will have access to our online portal and the Zero Waste logotype that indicates that you are working to reduce your environmental footprint. You can use the Zero Waste logo to profile your own environmental activities, i.e. show your stakeholders how your business is working proactively with environmental issues in order to limit emissions and become carbon neutral.

In order to find the right markets, Järnmalmer has a strong international network of buyers for our residual products, i.e. iron and metal scrap, and we compete with the strongest players throughout the world. For other types of waste we opt to employ subcontractors who are represented on the local markets and who understand the importance of systematic environmental and quality commitment and rational waste management.

The waste industry is broad, varied and complex. We believe that you cannot be the best in all areas and segments. Our concept is based on taking overall responsibility for the entire waste chain. Through us you have an overall contact for all waste issues. We do what we are good at, i.e. handling iron and metal scrap; other physical undertakings we leave to our partners. The most important thing is that you as a customer get the optimum solution in terms of finance, the environment and procedures that can be easily incorporated into your daily activities.

We take responsibility for the recycling process as a whole.

Industrial dismantling

Professional dismantling requires careful planning, risk assessment and broad environmental knowledge. We have been dismantling industrial structures for 70 years and were the first environmentally-certified demolition contractor in Sweden.

Our focus is dismantling assignments that mainly generate iron and metal scrap for our recycling activities. This may involve shutdown of complete plants, selective scrapping within process industries, bridge demolition, boiler scrapping, scrapping of railway lines, etc.

We ensure safety in the first instance and that work is carried out in an environmentally-sound manner. Our aim is to recover building material at the end of its life-cycle and waste from demolition processes for re-use or recycling. Hazardous waste must be identified and taken care of in a safe and rational way.

We have carried out many complex and substantial industrial dismantling assignments over the years and happily we can state that many customers come back to us with repeat business. Building up a good reputation takes a long time. It’s all about building bridges while dismantling them.

Trading

After ten years on the Russian market the time felt right to start up Järnmalmer International OY. Anton Kaznakov, the company’s CEO, has long experience of international scrap trading and comes from a leading position at one of the leading scrap companies in the St. Petersburg region.

Järnmalmer International OY, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary, will strengthen our purchasing channels in Russia and the Baltic states especially. Our hope is also to further develop our opportunities on other international markets. We believe this development is necessary for us to remain competitive over the long term on the global raw materials market. Improved operational strength will enable Järnmalmer to send its own staff in principle anywhere in the world within short notice in order to establish contacts, manage business deals and build an international profile.

In addition to the Swedish market in the form of smelting works and foundries, a large percentage of Järnmalmer’s output is exported. India and Southeast Asia, as well as northern Europe, are important markets for Järnmalmer. Our export products are primarily iron scrap, remelting material in the form of sheets, rails and beams and various seconds material.

A significant proportion of our exports of remilling raw material travels by sea to mini-mills mainly in Southeast Asia and India. Bulk loading is undertaken using smaller vessels of around 2,000-3,000 tons, servicing steelworks in Europe.
