Recycled salt reaches commercial markets through partnership with GC Rieber Salt

Ragn-Sells' new Ash2Salt plant is being built in Upplands-Bro outside Stockholm and will be operational in the second half of 2022. But already now we have ensured that the circular salt will make it to the commercial market through a commercial partnership with GC Rieber Salt which means that they will handle sales of all the recovered salt from Ragn-Sells. The partnership has already led to a commercial deal with Swedish construction company Peab, who will start buying circular salt from GC Rieber in late 2022. “Through the cooperation with Ragn-Sells, we can offer the market several different high-quality salts, with a carbon footprint that is one-tenth compared to traditional production", says Fredrik Eide, Country Manager Sweden and R&D Manager GC Rieber Salt. The Ash2Salt method allows the creation of new salt using fly ash, a waste product that is formed when flue gases from waste incineration are cleaned. The 300,000 tonnes of fly ash produced in Sweden each year contain large amounts of valuable raw materials such as potassium, sodium and calcium in salt form. With the Ash2Salt technology, developed by Ragn-Sells' innovation company EasyMining, these materials can be extracted efficiently, potentially saving 90% of the carbon footprint.

According to our calculations, the CO2-reduction is 12500 ton per year. This is when the factory is operating at its full capacity of 130.000 t/a, and compared to the European average CO2-footprint for the three different salts.

    Ragn-Sells turns waste in to gold! Keep up that work - there are lots of gold to be made

        Ragn-Sells, I find it really great that you gone from a waste company when I was young, to become a resource company when I got slightly older.

                Saving 90% of carbon footprint is a great fate.

                    This is circularity at its best and a great project in Upplands Bro.

                      Fantastic news to see climate solutions become industries and really scale. A question. How many tons of co2 will this factory save compared to the same amount of salt produced by traditional methods?
