The first large-scale plastic waste sorting facility in Denmark
ReSource Denmark is now in operation and has the capacity to sort 160,000 tons of waste – with a focus on post-consumer plastic – every year and will be a major contributor to Denmark and other EU countries in meeting their recycling targets for plastic waste. The facility is designed to provide full traceability from waste collection to the end product. Come and join us on this journey!
THE PLANT
ReSource Denmark has the capacity to process 160,000 tons of plastic per year using advanced sorting technology.
ReSource Denmark has now officially opened – a step in the right direction for sustainability.
A Gamechanger
ReSource in numbers
ReSource will be a game-changer for the plastic waste market in Denmark. The sorting facility is expected to significantly contribute towards reaching the EU and Denmark’s recycling targets.
Currently around 85% of Denmark’s plastic waste is either incinerated or exported. By 2030, the Danish government’s goal is to reduce the amount of incinerated plastic waste by 80%.
Today, Denmark incinerates 370,000 tons of plastic waste on an annual basis. If action is not taken, incineration plants will account for approximately 3.6% of the national emissions.
