Our plant in has an annual capacity of 15,000 tonnes of plastic granules
Our manufacturing process is the first of its kind
We have designed and constructed the production line specifically for end-of-life flexible plastic packaging that has previously been difficult to recycle. Each production step consists of innovative solutions based on proven techniques. Simplified, the production line consists of the following four process steps: size reduction, washing and drying, density separation and finally extrusion. The treatment water is circulated in its own closed recycling system for maximum resource efficiency and minimal environmental impact.
A recycling rate of 80%
The production line is designed for high-capacity efficient recycling. The goal is a recycling rate of 80% of incoming plastic. Production rejects are mostly food scraps, fibers from packaging labels and heavier rigid plastics that have high density rates. These heavier plastics will be recycled with external partners.
A reliable supplier
The facility is strategically located in an area with good access to input materials. We are part of the collection system for consumer packaging, which also provides a guaranteed supply of input materials. As a standard, we deliver our product in large sacks with a minimum delivery quantity of 24 tonnes. Deliveries are picked up with a standard trailer from Omni Polymers’ warehouse in Ängelholm. Of course, different packaging and delivery options can be discussed.
A positive environmental impact
The facility's greatest environmental benefit is producing a product that significantly lowers carbon dioxide emissions and can replace the need for manufacturers to use virgin plastic. Air emissions from the extrusion of granules are negligible. The water used for washing circulates in its own closed purification system. Material that cannot be recycled is sent to local, environmentally certified facilities. The Swedish electricity mix with its high share of renewable hydroelectric energy, is a better option in comparison to the European electricity mix. Therefore, it is environmentally sound to carry out this type of manufacturing in Sweden. We aim to only buy green electricity, which will further reduce the production's environmental footprint.
