Environment

The archipelago's nature is indescribably beautiful, but also fragile and vulnerable. In Strömsö, we have invested heavily in well-being of nature and environment.

Waste management and recycling

Waste management in Strömsö is centralized. On the island there are waste collection containers bellow ground, where residents sort their household waste and they are transported off the island by the islands waste management company. Currently, we collect, sort and recycle paper, cardboard, energy materials, glass and metal in containers of their own. During high season, we also offer domestic hazardous waste collection point. We are also looking in collecting and reusing bio waste.

Sewerage

We have built a unique all-island comprehensive water and sewerage system. Each plot sold in Strömsö, has a connection to water, sewer and electricity network. All black and gray waters of houses in Strömsö are directed to the central bio chemical cleaning plant, that exceeds all norms in cleaning efficiency. Naturally, all of Villa-areas are also part of the water and sewerage system.

Water Network

All plots sold in Strömsö also have a connection to the water network. The water is produced by a modern and highly efficient reverse osmosis technology, using the sea water, so the island's aquifer is not consumed. This guarantees virtually unlimited amount of water for all Strömsö residents.

Motor Vehicles

As part of our environment and welfare oriented philosophy, we have banned the use of motor vehicles on the road network of the island. This means, that in Strömsö people move around on foot or by bike with exception of the electric golf carts which are allowed. This greatly restricts the noise level on the island and increases in comfort all the residents. It also means, that it is safe for the children and joggers to move around the island's great 15 km long road network, when there is no danger of fast ATV coming around the corner.

Boat Speeds

We have also limited the boat speeds close to the Strömsö shores and beaches, so swimmers and boats in mooring are safe and it is more pleasant for the residents overall.
