Organisers
Avfall Sverige
Avfall Sverige is the Swedish Waste Management and Recycling Association. Our members, the municipalities and municipal companies, ensure that waste is collected and recycled in all Swedish municipalities. We perform our work on behalf of society: in an environmentally sound, sustainable and long-term manner. Our vision is “Zero Waste”. We are taking action to minimise waste, promote reuse and ensure that the waste produced is recycled, recovered and managed in the optimal manner. Municipalities and their enterprises are the ambassadors, catalysts and guarantors of this change.
Swedish Gas Association
Swedish Gas Association/Energigas Sverige is a member-funded, industry association dedicated to promoting a greater use of gas and an increasing use of renewable gases in accordance with our roadmap. We work towards a safe, environmentally responsible and efficient utilization of gas and acts as a voice for all gases where safety, technical matters, marketing and advocacy are key elements. Biogas, natural gas, hydrogen, vehicle gas and LPG are gases used in the energy sector. These gases are clean and efficient. They reduce climate emissions, improve air quality and are good alternatives to oil-based products for both the industry, heat and power, and in the transport sector including shipping. The gases are a natural part of the sustainable society and contribute to efficient energy utilization, more jobs and a cleaner environment.
