Utilisation of incineration waste in full, including metal separation, is in line with our vision ‘For a cleaner world’ as it helps save natural resources and reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Acquisition of Ekokem was our first big step entering into circular economy business and we expect to continue our growth when attractive opportunities arise both in our existing home markets as well as in new geographies.”
