Washing line

Denmark’s largest full-scale washing line for plastic waste

The latest initiative at RC Plast is the establishment of Denmark’s largest full-scale washing line for post-consumer plastic from recycling centres, industrial plastic waste, and pre-sorted household plastic waste. Plastic must be recycled again and again into new products, and with this washing line, a much broader range of collected plastics can be recycled instead of being incinerated.

The washing line is a fully automated system that shreds, washes, and dries the plastic waste, which is then converted into regrind. The material can subsequently be sold directly back to the plastics industry.

With this new washing facility, RC Plast can process and upgrade plastic waste in Denmark, ensuring that valuable raw materials remain in the country.
