Anders Gustafsson, one of the prosecutors, emphasized the gravity of the situation by stating this is the largest environmental crime in Sweden in terms of scope and organization. He noted that the capacity of Think Pink to mislead authorities through falsified documents is a symptom of the broader issue of corporate neglect towards environmental regulations.
The trial spotlights a significant decline from the former success of Think Pink, as Bella Nilsson, once celebrated as 'the queen of trash' for her innovative recycling methods, now faces serious charges of committing environmental crimes.
'From 2018-20, we saw Think Pink’s trademark pink bags becoming ubiquitous in Stockholm, representing a shift towards more accessible waste management solutions, but the aftermath reveals a stark contrast between their public image and their illicit activities, culminating in the company allegedly dumping over 200,000 tonnes of toxic waste.'
