Nynas circular transformer oil achieves certification

N ynas Circular transformer oil: NYTRO RR 900X has received the ISCC Plus certification. This product was manufactured by Nynas in collaboration with Stena Recycling who supply Nynas with used oil from transformers. Stena collects discarded transformer oil via a European network, pre-treats it, and then delivers it to Nynas, where the oil is used as a raw material for the production of re-refined transformer oil.

The ISCC Plus certification requirements enable producers, recyclers, and users of the product to trace a raw material entire lifecycle, an important parameter in the transition to a more sustainable world.

“Traceability is a key factor in ISCC Plus certification. The standard guarantees that raw material can be traced throughout the entire value chain, which we have now achieved with our solution for Nynas. We ensure that there is documentation for the recycled raw material at every stage, guaranteeing that Nynas’ product consists of 100% recycled raw material. The collaboration between Stena and Nynas offers a fully circular solution. It’s recycling at its best,” said Jan-Erik Andersson, Head of Business Area Hazardous Waste at Stena Recycling.

Two of Stena Recycling’s hazardous waste facilities in Sweden are ISCC Plus certified, and it is through these that the raw material for Nynas is quality-assured. The raw material fraction is also certified.

“Having the entire value chain ISCC Plus certified allows us to demonstrate that our circular transformer oil, NYTRO RR 900X, meets the quality and raw material standards,” said Marika Rangstedt, Sustainability Manager at Nynas.

“Offering a fully circular transformer oil significantly enhances resource efficiency in the electrical industry. As the industry is expected to grow significantly with increased electrification of society and industry, it is important to recover and reuse materials from old transformers as much as possible,” added Annika Girod, Marketing Director at Nynas. .
