Our Pioneers

"I think young people today want to know that their work reflects their values — that what we do at work is in line with what we stand for after working hours. For me, that meant finding a workplace where sustainability isn’t just talked about, but truly put into practice. I wanted to be part of something real, working directly with businesses and see the impact of my work in actions. That’s what drew me to NG Nordic."
“What’s important to me in my daily work is being able to help our customers, through the transporters who deliver to us, in a fast and smooth way, while at the same time ensuring that we handle the waste safely and in an environmentally responsible way.

At NG Nordic’s waste and recycling facility in Kumla, Sweden, I drive a loader, unload packaged waste from incoming trucks, weigh all packaging before invoicing, and make sure it’s ready for the next step in processing.”
“We live in a world where two-thirds of all surface water is polluted. Protecting this vital resource is central to our work to pioneer circularity, a commitment that means we never compromise the natural environment.

Every day, I work with a clear mission: to reduce our negative impact. Through close monitoring of our emissions and continuous improvement of our processes and systems, we are steadily moving toward zero emissions.”
