Advanced sorting for high-quality plastic recycling
We run Site Zero, the world’s largest and most advanced sorting facility for plastic packaging. Here, we can sort and recycle nearly all plastic packaging on the Nordic market.
The climate impact of plastic
Plastic is one of our biggest societal challenges – and the problem is expected to grow. In Sweden, plastic incineration accounts for approximately 7 percent of emissions, according to the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency.
We want to be part of the solution. By recycling plastic, we can reduce incineration and, in turn, limit its climate impact.
Our Goal: Keeping Plastic in Circulation
Despite the significant challenges posed by plastic, it is considered essential for the transition to a more sustainable society. It offers many benefits, such as extending the shelf life of food products and enabling lighter, more flexible packaging. However, to fully realize the advantages of plastic, it must remain in circulation within society for a longer period of time.
This is how a circular plastics economy for household plastic packaging can be achieved:
• Plastic packaging is designed for recycling
• Used plastic packaging is collected and sorted at the source
• Waste undergoes advanced sorting and is recycled in separate cycles, with each type of plastic being processed individually.
A market for recycled plastic raw materials is also essential to enable the production of new packaging and products
