COVER STORY

17recyclinginternational.com | January/February | 2023

A perfect storm has come to Skelleftea in northern Sweden. It started with the arrival of battery manufacturer/recy-

cler Northvolt and has been boosted by the region’s efforts to support sustainable business. Major industries are

exploring the opportunities, attracted by the Nordics’ clean and relatively cheap water powered energy. But there’s

one problem: not enough manpower to make it happen. Or, at least, not yet. A massive campaign aims to pull in no

fewer than 100 000 people from all over the world in the coming decade.
