The Swedish Electricity Board has presented its sustainability report for the 2021 financial year. Despite another different year in the wake of the pandemic, the collection of electrical waste and batteries has not been affected to any great extent.<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

El-kretsen, with the mission of supporting companies in fulfilling their producer responsibility through a nationwide collection system, compiles an annual sustainability report on its operations. Now that the report for the 2021 financial year is being presented, it says Marten Sundin<\/strong>, El-kretsen in a comment to APPLiAnytt:<\/p>\n

\u201d"The continued turbulent and unusual situation that the pandemic has put society in has not significantly affected the collection or handling of electrical waste and batteries. Now we are approaching the summer months and we expect extra pressure on collection."\u201d<\/p>\n

The collection is divided into different fractions and a total of 138,749 tons were collected in 2021 (compared to 155,721 tons the year before).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
