About the Ragnar Sellberg Foundation
The visionary humanist and entrepreneur, Ragnar Sellberg (1902-1995), recognised early on the importance of connecting research and academia with the recycling and waste management industry to find paths to a sustainable society. In 1991, he founded the Ragnar Sellberg Foundation to bridge the gap between science and practice in an industry facing significant new challenges.
The foundation was established by Ragnar Sellberg, Ragn-Sells, the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), and the Upplands-Bro and Håbo municipalities. Research is conducted in collaboration with KTH, SLU, and the IVL Swedish Environmental Institute, along with several universities, institutes, other companies, and interest organisations as stakeholders.
The Ragnar Sellberg Foundation is governed by a board consisting of six individuals with connections to both the academic world and the industry.
