Regenergy Frövi —
Waste heat that creates both food and jobs
In an innovative effort, Regenergy Frövi reuses industrial waste heat from a carton board factory to produce vegetables in greenhouses. The method not only provides sustainable vegetables, but also a circular business model that easily can be scaled up. The future of food supply is here.

Great sustainability benefits
Regenergy Frövi is a unique international establishment in Frövi and the municipality of Lindesberg. A project that is taking the circular and generative industry into the future, and that is an important first step to establish a circular business model in Swedish industry. The effort can drive the circular industry and the regenerative solutions forward with great sustainability benefits.
Regenergy Frövi will not only create a lot of new green jobs in the Örebro region, but also increase the production of Swedish food, which improves Sweden’s self-sufficiency. Greenhouse cultivation and food are not the only scopes for this effort. There are many more possible activities to be established with a circular model and the reuse of unexploited resources.
Valuable unexploited resources
The Swedish company WA3RM is behind the project in Frövi. The company gives unexploited resources new life by connecting industries, which want to make better use of their waste streams, with entrepreneurs, who benefit from accessible energy and raw material in various forms.
When most people see unwanted materials and by-products as a problem, WA3RM sees waste streams as valuable unexploited resources. The goal is to use the unexploited resources to create a regenerative and circular system to vitalise local communities and secure a sustainable future.
