LKAB currently manages the waste from its operations at three facilities: an environmental store, a disposal site and a decantation facility. NCC has been commissioned by LKAB to construct a recycling center for consolidated management of waste from operations.

NCC’s project encompasses a building of approximately 2,000 square meters for management of hazardous waste and waste oil, and approximately 40,000 square meters of land for sorting and processing waste. The recycling center will include a section for hazardous waste, a garage and an office.

“Currently we manage around 16,000 tons of waste per year, half of which is metal and iron scrap. We are a large and complex operation, and this places considerable demands on us. But we also place considerable demands on ourselves – we want to work preventively, in a forward-looking manner and sustainable over the long term. That is why it is also natural to invest in a new recycling center that will give us even better conditions for achieving our ambitious goals,” says Stefan Lahti, Division Manager at LKAB.


“NCC has a broad range of know-how in environmental technology, and we are pleased to be entrusted with building a modern recycling center that will give LKAB a solid basis for dealing with the waste from its operations,” says Linda Bäckström, Project Manager at NCC Infrastructure Kiruna.

The order value is approximately SEK 160 million and it will be registered among orders in the NCC Infrastructure business area in the second quarter of 2025. The project will start immediately and is scheduled for completion in the autumn of 2026.
