7 Lindab s environmenta ork Lindab is engaged in severa environmenta projects, incuding the drive to increase energy efficiency and reduce the amount of scrap produced. These initiatives have contributed to a reduction in energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions per krona earned.

The authorisation required for Lindab s activities is chiefy made up of business icences for industry.

A Sedish company cars are hybrid cars today. For other countries, there are cear demands for o CO 2 emissions ith the goa that hybrid cars aso i be used in these countries in the ong term. Effuents and aste The aste products generated during production consist primariy of scrap meta. Scrap meta is recovered competey and other aste is recyced up to neary 90 percent.
