As part of a consortium consisting of four companies, Rimeco, this past spring acquired its second power plant, Stigsnæsværket, for demolition and recycling. The plant, erected in 1966 as an oil-fired power plant, was in the late 1970’s converted into a coal-fired power plant suppling a large part of Zealand with electricity and local homes with district heating. In 2012 the plant was closed by the owner, Denmark’s sole large supplier of energy, Ørsted, as a part of the company’s transition to sustainable energy sources.
At Rimeco, we are proud to contribute to this transition by meticulously ensuring that every last piece of the thousands of tons of metals that the now closed plant contains is recycled into new products for a more sustainable future. Danish authorities are expected to approve the acquisition by the end of 2019, and we look forward to commencing the task in 2020. Of course, we also look forward to providing our customers with yet another source of high-quality metals for both direct recycling and remelting.
Included in the acquisition is the power plants’ associated harbour, Stigsnæs Transithavn. With a water depth of 18 meters, it is one of the deepest harbours in Europe. At the same time, with its central location, the harbour is situated to conveniently for reach most of Zealand and Funen within an hour’s drive. It is the consortium’s ambition to develop and run the harbour as one of Denmark’s most efficient and widescale harbours attracting customers from all over the world.
Besides Rimeco A/S the consortium consists of:
Kloster A/S, transport, stevedore
HM Entreprenør A/S, contracting, infrastructure
P. Olesen & Sønner A/S, demolition

For the past 130 years the core business of Rimeco has been to acquire and resell scrap metals for recycling. It is a part of our DNA to spot resources where most people just see waste. Every day we strive to extract and recycle ever more from every bit of material we lay our hands on. And every day we search for ways to recycle not just the metals, but also residual products such as plastic and insulation.
Thus, for us it is only natural to proudly support the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. Our whole business revolves around goal number 12: “Responsible consumption and production”. We happily work towards achieving the UN’s goal of ensuring sustainable management and efficient use of natural resources by 2030.
As all 17 of UN’s Sustainable Development Goals are interconnected, putting our efforts into achieving only goal number 12 will not suffice. Therefore, we continuously work on developing more sustainable procedures and lowering the environmental impact of every part of our business – from lowering our carbon footprint to eliminating our use of excess packaging.
The UN’s Sustainable Development Goals have come to stay – and to be incorporated in Rimeco’s business strategy.
Ørsted har netop indgået en aftale med konsortiet Stigsnæs Industripark A/S, som indebærer, at konsortiet køber Stigsnæsværket og Stigsnæs Transithavn ved Skælskør. Overdragelsen omfatter også Stigsnæs kulterminal.

The Kolding facility is now fully operational, and it will have the capacity to handle more than 100.000 tonnes a year.
Rimeco deals with around 500.000 tonnes a year of scrap metal in Europe.
Managing director Klaus Peter Riggelsen said: “As a modern recycling company, we are committed to improving recycling and recovery rates for scrap metals, and we’ve identified Kolding Port as a key partner to facilitate our growth in Denmark.
“Kolding is ideally located to allow access to our core markets in Turkey and Europe, as well as increase the volume of scrap metal we are able to handle. We look forward to increase or corporation with Kolding Port to support our latest investment and cement the position of Rimeco.
RIMECO has entered into the market of recycling and recovery of end waste & by-products coming from the shredder operations of cars, household- and white appliances, which normally would have been classified as waste.
