Swedish steel: a shortcut to integrating sustainability into operations and products?

Sweden has long been a pioneer in the world for integrating sustainability into business. In fact, the Swedish government has set ambitious climate targets to become the first fossil-free welfare country with net-zero emissions by 2045. In this context of broad societal commitment to clean economic growth, Sweden’s steel producers have also long embraced environmental stewardship in their operations and as steelmaking is one of the biggest emitters of CO2 globally, this is positive news for manufacturers and the construction industry.

Alleima unveils new compressor valve steel for more sustainable and energy efficient refrigerators and freezers

Alleima, is thrilled to announce its latest compressor valve steel Freeflex® Versa, a successor of the award-winning Freeflex® Core. The new material contributes to designing smaller, more sustainable and more energy efficient compressors for refrigerators, and freezers. It is pioneering compressor valve steel with exceptional fatigue resistance, residual stresses, and wear resistance.

Our approach

Sustainability is firmly established in our operations and an integrated part of our strategy. Our aim is that our activities should have as little impact on the environment as possible.

Compared with the traditional process of making steel from iron ore, our production process is based on recycled steel. Considering used material as a resource instead of a waste product contributes to circularity. Using recycled steel and an electric arc furnace in our production is also more energy efficient, and the process has a lower carbon footprint than traditional steel production using a blast furnace.

900 ways to make a change

The butterfly effect is the idea that one small occurrence can significantly impact the world. Today's choices ripple into our future. That's why we search for sustainable solutions in everything we do.
