Alfa Laval at Circular Initiative 2023: Accelerating scaling-up through partnerships across the value chain

We're thrilled to share that Alfa Laval has been invited to participate in Circular Initiative for the third time! This dynamic gathering unites leaders from diverse sectors, all determined to drive the transition toward a circular economy. Our Head of Clean Technologies & VP of Energy Division, Madeleine Gilborne, and Chief Sustainability Officer, Anna Celsing, will present "Accelerating scaling-up through partnerships across the value chain.”

Initially conceived by Stena Recycling, the Circular Initiative empowers businesses, innovators, academia, and policymakers to foster circular practices. This year, the focus is on scaling circular initiatives and learning from industry case studies.

Alfa Laval will share experiences from the Re-Made to matter programme, introduced two years ago in collaboration with Stena Recycling, a Swedish-based company that provides sustainable waste management and recycling services to businesses and communities. This exchange programme allows the recycling of old heat exchangers when upgrading to more energy-efficient models. The primary objective is to recover up to 100% of the valuable metals in old heat exchangers while enabling efficiency improvements for energy savings and a reduced carbon footprint.

Reducing our carbon footprint is central to Alfa Laval’s strategy; we have set a bold target to become carbon neutral by 2030. To achieve this goal, we recognize that partnerships are essential to unlocking innovative solutions that speed up our sustainability efforts. One such collaboration has already been established with the Nordic and US-based steel company SSAB to develop recyclable, fossil-free steel heat exchangers. Alfa Laval has also teamed up with Boliden, a Swedish mining and smelting company, to use their Low-Carbon copper to produce heat exchangers.
