The Chairman of Scandinavian Enviro Systems AB (publ) (Enviro), Alf Blomqvist, and the company’s CEO, Thomas Sörensson, have been appointed to represent Enviro on the board of the new joint venture. The joint venture’s first board meeting was held on June 1, 2023.

The joint venture was formed by Enviro and Antin Infrastructure Partners (Antin) to establish a large-scale tire recycling company based on Enviro’s technology. As previously announced, the joint venture is planning to establish plants across Europe by 2030 with a total recycling capacity of one million tons of end-of-life tires per year.

In accordance with the previously agreed arrangement between Enviro and Antin, Enviro is entitled to board representation in the joint venture from the start. Enviro has appointed its Chairman, Alf Blomqvist, and CEO, Thomas Sörensson, to represent the company. The joint venture’s board will have monthly meetings. As previously announced, French tire manufacturer Michelin is planning to join the joint venture as partner as the future plants are built.

The first full-scale recycling plant will be constructed in Uddevalla, Sweden, with an initial recycling capacity of 34,500 tons of end-of-life tires, or about 40% of the annual volume of end-of-life tires in Sweden. As previously announced, construction of the plant is pending a final investment decision by the joint venture.
