Curious about how battery recycling works? Check out this handy graphic to learn about Northvolt's battery recycling process:

At our in-house recycling facilities, we receive batteries at their end of life, as well as manufacturing waste, from which we recover valuable raw materials, in addition to copper, aluminium and plastics. By co-locating our recycling facilities alongside our gigafactories, we are able to immediately recirculate materials back into production – closing the loop on batteries.

In Stockholm, machinery, such as construction equipment, accounts for approximately 18% of the city’s carbon footprint. To pave a path towards a more sustainable future, the city of Stockholm and PEAB have joined forces to establish an emission-free construction site in the borough of Södermalm.

Key to this vision is access to enough grid power to keep the electric machinery charged to work throughout the day. That’s where the importance of energy storage and sufficient charging infrastructure comes in.

In addressing this charging challenge, our collaboration with Finnish charging solution provider, Plugit, presents a powerful new solution.

Powered by Voltpack Mobile technology, consisting of three Voltpack Cores, the Plugit Pro Mobile is a compact, fast-charging station with energy storage that can be installed quickly and easily, without the need for concrete foundations.

The city of Stockholm has implemented a charging solution co-developed by Plug-it and Northvolt at their fully electric construction site.
