Scandinavian Enviro Systems AB has announced that Enviro has received a request for arbitration under the Rules of the London Court of International Arbitration (the “LCIA Rules”) from Infiniteria a joint venture with Antin Infrastructure Partners’ NextGen fund as the majority owner and controlling shareholder, with a total claim of approximately EUR 54 million in alleged damages.
Enviro considers the asserted claims to be unfounded and disputes the claims and the claimed amount in their entirety. The arbitration was initiated by Infiniteria Europe Sàrl and its subsidiary Infiniteria Sweden AB ,who have submitted a request for arbitration under the LCIA Rules.
The claim stems from the partnership between Enviro and the Claimants regarding a plant project in Sweden. The Claimants assert that Enviro is liable to pay approximately EUR 54 million in damages for alleged breach of contract and related damages, of which EUR 42 million is attributable to future lost profits, as estimated by the Claimants.
Additionally, the Claimants seek interest on the amount claimed and compensation for legal costs. Enviro strongly disagrees with Claimants’ view on the circumstances of the matter, the legal grounds invoked in the request for arbitration, and the calculation of the alleged damages.
The Claimants seek, among other things, compensation for damages which have not yet materialised based on alleged anticipated future delays that have not occurred. Enviro considers these claims to be unfounded and speculative, and Enviro firmly opposes the Claimants’ assertions.
Accordingly, Enviro intends to dispute the claims and the claimed amount of the alleged damages in their entirety. Enviro has been served with the request for arbitration and will submit a statement of defense, and potential counterclaims, in due course. Enviro has retained legal counsel and will vigorously defend its position.
According to Fredrik Arbens, CEO at Enviro, the claim between the partners is disappointing.
According to the LCIA, the median costs of arbitration are USD 117,653. Perhaps more relevant is the timescale anticipated in an arbitration case. Low value claims, under $1m are dealt with quickly, and are usually resolved under 12 months, However, larger cases can run to 20- 25 months, or more, as might be the case with this arbitration
Infiniteria Europe Sàrl and Infiniteria Sweden AB have stated that the arbitration regards for breach of contractual obligations resulting in losses and delays in the construction of Infiniteria’s tyre recycling facility in Uddevalla. The lawsuit was filed February 4th, 2026, following advance notice.
The legal proceedings pursuant to the rules of the London Court of International Arbitration with the seat of arbitration in Paris seek redress after Enviro reduced the agreed-upon engineering resources to build the plant, leading to losses and delays in construction that adversely impact the project’s budget and schedule, according to Infiniteria.
Infiniteria continues to seek a constructive solution to complete the company’s wholly-owned tyre recycling facility in Uddevalla, where Enviro is the technology partner, as soon as possible.
Kajsa Ryttberg-Wallgren, CEO of Infiniteria, declared; “The lawsuit against Enviro follows months of efforts to resolve this situation constructively, and we continue to work hard to find a solution to complete construction of the Uddevalla site. We will pursue all legal remedies to ensure we have the means to complete the plant. While this facility is facing delays as a result of this breach of contractual obligations, we remain fully committed to building a leading European tyre recycling business and are continuing our European expansion plan to deliver on our customer commitments.”
In a still developing industry, the dispute involving two major players is disappointing, and complex, as Enviro is a shareholder in Infiniteria, along with Michelin.
