Litech and Medclair Partners Together to Close the Loop on Nitrous Oxide

Litech is proud to announce a global partnership with Medclair AB, a Swedish cleantech company and international leader in nitrous oxide (N₂O) destruction technology. Together, the companies are combining their expertise to deliver a seamless process for detecting, neutralizing, and recycling nitrous oxide within the global recycling sector.

A Collaboration Built on Shared Values

At its core, the partnership reflects a shared mission to make environmental technology both safer and more circular, transforming a challenge into a resource.

This partnership goes beyond prevention. Together, Litech and Medclair enable a continuous, closed-loop process that includes detection, neutralization, and recycling.

Detection: Litechs systems safely identifies nitrous oxide canisters before they cause harm.
Neutralization: Medclair’s technology safely destroys the gas, eliminating environmental and health risks.
Recycling and Value Creation: The empty canisters become 100 percent recyclable, high-value metal, generating new revenue streams and strengthening circular economy practices.

“It’s rare that a collaboration feels as natural as this one,” says Synne Sauar, CEO of Litech. “With our combined offering, customers can both save costs and generate revenue while contributing to a safer, more sustainable industry.”

This collaboration represents a major key milesone in Medclair’s international expansion and Litech’s goal of scaling environmental safety systems globally. The joint solution aims to set a new industry standard by combining risk reduction, sustainability, and economic value into one seamless process.

“Our goal has always been to make advanced technology easy to use,” says Ida Marie Pedersen, CPO of Litech. “Together with Medclair, we’ve built a system that fits right into existing operations and solves a real environmental challenge without adding complexity.”

About Medclair

Medclair AB is a Swedish environmental technology company and one of the global leaders in systems for the safe and climate-friendly destruction of nitrous oxide. Medclair’s core focus is the development of technology for the safe and sustainable handling of nitrous oxide (N₂O), a potent greenhouse gas nearly 300 times stronger than carbon dioxide. Their systems convert more than 99 percent of captured N₂O into harmless nitrogen (N₂) and oxygen (O₂), dramatically cutting emissions and improving air quality.

With operations in more than twenty countries, Medclair’s solutions help hospitals, clinics, and industries create safer workplaces and reduce climate impact. The company is publicly listed on NGM Nordic SME and continues to expand its international footprint through partnerships and innovation.

About Litech

Litech develops sensor and monitoring systems that detect hazardous materials, currently focusing on pressurized gas cylinders (N₂O bottles) in complex waste streams. By identifying risks early, our technology prevents fires, explosions, and costly downtime, ensuring a safer and more reliable recycling process.

At Litech, we believe fire prevention shouldn’t be complicated. Our systems make it simple through Multispectral Imaging (MIS) technology, enabling precise detection across different materials and waste conditions.

Designed for flexibility, Litech’s solution is compact, modular, and easy to retrofit into existing facilities. This means operators can upgrade safety without changing infrastructure, improving both performance and reliability.

Litech’s detection technology forms the first, critical step in a fully circular process — enabling partners like Medclair to safely capture and neutralize gases such as nitrous oxide. Together, these technologies close the loop for a safer, more sustainable waste industry.

Closing the Loop Together

This collaboration between Litech and Medclair shows what’s possible when two technologies complement each other. What began as a shared challenge in the waste sector has grown into a partnership built on trust, engineering excellence, and a commitment to meaningful change.

By combining Litech’s precision detection with Medclair’s neutralization expertise, we’re creating a connected system that prevents fires, protects the environment, and recovers valuable materials for reuse.

A practical step toward a safer and truly circular recycling industry.
