SOBACKEN 1, Rydboholm, Schweden

Do you want to be part of shaping the future of Borås – a circular city at the forefront where sustainability becomes real, every day? Do you have a strong commitment to creating smart solutions that make a difference while building added value for our customers? Then you could be the driving force we're looking for for the next step in our journey. The Recycling Business Area offers a wide range of services in sustainable waste management and resource efficiency. We are responsible for collection of municipal waste and recyclable materials as well as the treatment of materials and disposal. Our solutions range from efficient standard services to customized arrangements adapted to each customer's specific needs. The position is placed within the Recycling Services Department, where we work to create value through smart management of material and energy flows. Much of the waste we receive is actually a valuable resource. Through various recycling processes, it is transformed into new products, raw materials and energy. For example, waste can become district heating through energy recovery, biogas through anaerobic digestion, or raw material for industry. Metal scrap becomes new car parts, worn-out tires get new life as noise barriers, and used plastic packaging is converted into, for example, sound barriers. With us, you become part of an operation that every day contributes to the circular economy and a more sustainable future.
