Tekniska verken is a municipally owned multi\u2010utility company providing essential services in energy, water, waste management and district heating.<\/p>\n Tekniska verken is widely recognized for its commitment to sustainability and a circular approach to resources. In Link\u00f6ping it has developed one of Sweden\u2019s most resource-efficient local energy systems by treating waste as a resource and aiming for \u201czero waste\u201d through reuse and recycling. The company\u2019s operations span combined heat-and-power generation (often co-producing electricity and heat from waste and biomass), renewable biogas production, clean water and wastewater treatment and extensive recycling and waste-to-energy programmes.
