Fönix Miljö

Fönix Miljö AB is a Swedish company specializing in the ethical handling and recycling of metal residues remaining after cremation. Established in 2016, it operates from Vålberg in Karlstad municipality and describes its work as a responsibility that continues after the crematorium’s role has ended. The company collects residues discreetly, transports them in specially adapted containers, and sorts the metals at its facility. The sorted materials are sent to Stena Metall and KA Rasmussen for sale, while the remaining dust is taken for burial at Ruds cemetery in Karlstad.

Fönix Miljö emphasizes respect, transparency, traceability, and documented quality controls throughout the process. It states that its operations follow Sweden’s Burial Act and are reported to and monitored by the Legal, Financial and Administrative Services Agency, the Swedish Tax Agency, and the Church of Sweden. The financial value from metal sales goes directly to the Swedish Inheritance Fund, which supports projects for children, young people, older people, and people with disabilities.
