Key Points

- LKAB welcomes the situation by turning a blind eye to the use of materials in this way.
Sweden's mining company LKAB had high hopes with reuse goals during the relocation process of Kiruna city. However, since the demolition of the old city center took years, it is not possible to speak of the existence of a formal organization to manage this vision.
This management gap is filled by residents taking their own initiative to collect recyclable materials. This situation, which the company intentionally turns a blind eye to, allows the city to be looted almost like an act of charity for those in need.
Kiruna residents benefiting from the process use the materials extracted from demolished buildings in their own projects. LKAB officials also state that following their initial indifference, they realized that this development is actually beneficial.
