Plastic recycling and use of recycled plastic

Plastic recycling contributes to circular material utilization and reduced oil dependence, prerequisites for a sustainable future and for Sweden to reach the goal of no net emissions of greenhouse gases by 2045 at the latest. Today, too little material is recycled from collected plastic waste, which must increase in order to reach set targets.

To increase material recycling, collaboration and commitment in the entire value chain, as well as increased knowledge and new solutions are required in everything from material and method development to logistics and other system issues. There are many questions that need to be answered in order for more actors to be able to convert to circular operations and take responsibility for contributing to circularity. For example:

  • In which products is it appropriate or not appropriate to use recycled plastic?
  • What characteristics will a product with recycled material have compared to a product with non-recycled material? Are additives needed to get the right process and product properties?
  • What recycled materials are available? Are they quality assured or how do I know what I'm getting?
  • Which recycling techniques are available and which one is suitable for my materials and products?

We have experience and expertise in the entire value chain for plastics and can help you with these issues and many others with a holistic perspective

Our offer

We guide, coach and educate, but above all have unique infrastructure and expertise to practically develop, test, validate and verify recycled materials and products. As an independent actor, we perform analysis and testing according to many standards, but also adapt and develop new methods based on needs and questions.

Recycling methods

We work with a number of different recycling techniques, in order to best find the right method based on the material to be recycled, but also the desired end products based on what the value chain and material flow looks like.

Mechanical recycling

Chemical recycling

Thermal recycling

Recycling for real

Based on our experience in plastic processing, compounding and injection molding, we can help take the results of recycling trials further, from small-scale evaluation to industrial production. We also run and participate in research projects and, through our large and well-established networks, have the opportunity to mediate contacts to realize ideas and develop real recycling.

So whether you are in the construction industry, the automotive industry, recycling industry, medtech, or another industry, get in touch with us if you have questions or want to know more!
