SWEDEN by Jozef Plachy 1 THE MINERAL INDUSTRY OF SWEDEN By Jozef Plachy 1 Sweden is endowed with significant deposits of iron ore, Sweden's exports, one-third of which was steel. Because certain base metals (copper, lead, and zinc), and several Sweden lacked a zinc smelter, one of the largest mineral industrial minerals (dolomite, feldspar, granite, ilmenite, exports was zinc ore and concentrate, shipped mostly to kaolin, limestone, quartz, and wollastonite). Still, it is best Norway. The country imported duty-free most of the raw known for production of high-quality steel. Sweden relies material needed to operate its copper and lead smelter at heavily on hydrocarbon imports, due to inadequate optimal capacity. indigenous resources; as a result, the country has developed substantial nuclear and hydroelectric generating capacity. Structure of the Mineral Industry Government Policies and Programs The ownership of the two largest mineral companies in Sweden—Boliden AB and Luossavaara-Kiirunavaara AB Sweden liberalized its mineral policy to parallel European (LKAB)—has remained essentially unchanged. Union (EU) standards in response to the acceptance of the Boliden Mineral AB, a subsidiary of the privately owned EU membership by the Swedish electorate in 1994. The new Trelleborg Group, was predominantly a nonferrous mining policy eliminated laws requiring foreign companies to get and processing company. It also traded in concentrates, special permission for prospecting, annulled the state's metals, and other products and provided engineering participation in mining enterprises (so-called "crown expertise, built mineral processing plants, and sold mining shares"), and revoked all taxes and royalties, except for the equipment. Boliden Mineral AB consisted of Swedish Mines normal 27% corporate tax.

At yearend 1994, Swedish Mining concessions were valid for 25 years. The State Mines and Smelters operated 10 mines, 4 concentrators, and Mining Property Commission was closed and previous 1 smelter. It produced 20.2 Mmt of ore, resulting in 549,300 restrictions on real estate ownership were eliminated, thus metric tons (mt) of concentrate with an average metal content allowing foreign participation in the mining of a wide range of about 49%.3 International Mines and Smelters managed of minerals. the wholly owned Aznalcollar Mine and the partially owned Sukhaybarat Mine, both in Spain. Production The Government-owned LKAB was one of the world's leading producers of highly upgraded iron ore products, such The mining industry in 1994 employed about 8,400 people as iron pellets. In 1994 it operated two mining complexes, and accounted for about 1.4% of industrial production, ore dressing and pelletizing plants in Kiruna and corresponding to 0.3% of gross domestic product.2 In 1994, Malmberget, a pelletizing plant in Svappavaara, and Sweden produced 19.7 million metric tons (Mmt) of iron ore shipping ports in Lulea and Narvik, both in Norway. concentrate, or about one-half of all western European production. Output of polymetallic sulfide ore was 23 Mmt, Commodity Review about one-third of western Europe's copper and lead ore production, and about one-fifth of the region's zinc ore Metals production. While comparative metal production was somewhat lower, Sweden remained the leading producer of Aluminum.—Radical cost cutting in recent years by copper and lead metal in western Europe. The gold, lead, Granges Aluminium, a division of Granges AB, increased the and zinc content of indigenous ore production exceeded profitability of the Sundsvall smelter.

First of all, we would like to thank our supervisors during the project, Susanne Lundberg at Ericsson Radio Systems AB, Jörgen Furuhjelm at Linköping Institute of Technology and Lennart Nilson at the Royal Institute of Technology for valuable help and guidance throughout the project. We would also like to express our gratitude to Jens Malmodin, Richard Trankell and Elaine Weidman at Ericsson Radio Systems AB and to Fjalar Kommonen at FFK Ltd for all their help. One of the most difficult tasks in this study was to develop probable logistic scenarios for the take-back of discarded transceivers. We would like to take this opportunity to thank amongst others Rickard Slettmyr and Mattias Sundstedt at Ericsson Radio Systems AB and Mikael Hietarinta at Nippon Ericsson for taking time to help us with this. Finally, we would like to thank our contact persons at the involved recycling companies, who have provided valuable information to the study; Kazuo Suzuki at Total Environmental Recycling Management, Mike Ogle and Darrel Stoecklin at United Recycling Industries Inc., Johan Zwart at MIREC B.V., Lennart Edvinsson at Ragn-Sells Elektronikåtervinning AB, Anders Axelsson and Sune Nordström at AB Arv Andersson, Sören Brännström and Theo Lehner at Boliden AB, Lars Cronquist at Gotthard Aluminium AB and Christer Forsgren at SAKAB.
