About us

Your circular partner

Sortera is a leading provider of services in sustainable construction and key player in the transition from a linear to a circular economy. Every day, our employees make a difference for the environment and society together with thousands of customers.

Sortera handles waste and residual products from the construction and civil engineering sector and converts them into resources through reuse, recycling or energy recovery. Our customer offering also includes the maintenance of important societal functions as well as soil and water purification. This makes us a key player in the circular economy.

Mission and Sustainability

At Sortera, our vision is to be a role model for the transition to a more circular society, and we are involved in driving this development in our industry.

We see sustainability and profitability as inseparable elements of our business. Sustainability is integrated into our business model and developed in close collaboration with customers, partners and employees.

Sortera's history

Founded in 2006

Recycling in focus since 2006

Sortera was founded in 2006 in Stockholm based on a simple but powerful concept – to collect construction waste quickly, smoothly and with a high level of service as a guiding principle – to ultimately recycle as much as possible. Being transparent about where the waste goes, how it is processed in the value chain and recycling as much of the collected waste as possible was the focus of our customer offering from day one.

Customer focus

Early customer project engagement

Sortera’s customers have always been the key to our development. Our early involvement in customer projects helps to streamline waste management flows and logistics. By collaborating with actors throughout the value chain, we develop solutions for more sustainable and circular material flows.

Employee

Committed employees in several countries

Sortera expanded from Stockholm to Gothenburg and Malmö, and entered Finland in 2020. In 2022, we entered the UK market through an acquisition in London. The number of our committed employees is growing as we continue our journey of expansion.

Broad offer

Broadened customer offering

We have continuously broadened our customer offering and in 2019 Sortera acquired the company Envytech, which is specialised in water treatment for the construction and civil engineering sector. Today, we can offer comprehensive solutions for small and medium-sized companies in construction and civil engineering, industry and logistics.

Competence

Exporting our business model

Expanding through acquisitions is an important part of Sortera’s growth journey. Since the company was founded in 2006, over 20 companies have been acquired with the aim of strengthening Sortera's geographical presence and customer offering. In this way, we export our customer offering in sustainable construction and circular economy to other markets.

SERVICE TRANSCENDS EVERYTHING

Sortera is the small company that has grown, yet we never lose our close relationship with our customers. Our aim is to meet the needs of our customers, no matter how varied, complex or urgent they are.

SUSTAINABILITY IS PART OF OUR DNA

At Sortera, we work constantly to strengthen and develop our customer offering – and always with sustainability in focus. We are not satisfied with anything less than making our customers role models in the circular economy

BASED ON OUR COMPETENCE

Our customers can always be confident that we know our business. Our depth and breadth allow us to embrace complexity and understand each customer’s unique challenges and circumstances.
