Cinis signs agreement with Ragn-Sells for sodium sulfate supply
Cinis Fertilizer has signed an agreement with the Swedish environmental company Ragn-Sells for supplies of the input sodium sulfate. The sodium sulfate Ragn-Sells will deliver comes from industrial clients who generate this as a residual stream in their production. This cooperation marks a significant step forward in the company’s efforts to increase the proportion of byproduct streams used in its production and to expand the supplier base for its facility in Köpmanholmen, Örnsköldsvik.
“We are very pleased to commence this cooperation with Ragn-Sells. This agreement is not only an important milestone in our efforts to increase the use of byproduct streams in our production but also a testament to our ability to solve a real problem for the industries that generate sodium sulfate as a byproduct. Additionally, the fact that we are compensated for receiving and processing the sodium sulfate underscores the value of our circular business model,” said Jakob Liedberg, founder and CEO of Cinis Fertilizer.
Through the agreement, Cinis Fertilizer will upcycle sodium sulfate, a byproduct of industrial production, into potassium sulfate—a high-quality mineral fertilizer. This circular solution makes it possible for industrial clients to upgrade landfill residues into recycled material and the sodium sulfate, which is otherwise primarily seen as a waste problem, instead becomes a valuable input and a contribution to enabling more sustainable agriculture.
"If we are serious about creating a sustainable society, we must use the raw materials we already have, over and over again. Through our new cooperation with Cinis Fertilizer, we enable yet another waste stream to be put to good use," says Kristoffer Ågren, Sales Manager downstream at Ragn-Sells.
The first test delivery of sodium sulphate from Ragn-Sells was carried out in August and continuous deliveries are now starting immediately. This partnership is an important part of Cinis Fertilizer's long-term strategy to expand the inflow of raw materials from new industries.
