Recycling of plastic in practice
At Primo’s production plants reusing plastic is a part of the daily process.
Committed to sustainable plastic production.
Clean plastic plants
All our plastic production facilities live up to the industry agreement, Operation Clean Sweep. This means that all facilities have procedures in place that do not allow for plastic residues to be let out in nature. Recycling of plastic is an integrated part of our business model and our design, counselling and production of plastic for our clients. We always strive to consider recyclability, building it into our designs whenever possible.
CEO, Claus Tønnesen
“We are still in the early phase and can see that a lot is happening in this field across the entire organization. We have re-grinders in all production units, and our customers are very interested in discussing the perspectives. When you compare plastic to other products, it is clear that plastic has some recycling properties you don’t see in other materials. That gives us confidence that - if treated wisely - plastic can be a green material, which can be part of the solution to our global challenges."
Plastic innovation for a better future
ethinking the plastic innovation process step by step for a more sustainable world.
Inter Primo excels in customer specific plastic solutions. Our process is based on several detailed steps to ensure a perfect match between customer's needs and our more than 60 years of experience with plastic innovation. Every part of this process – from idea to product – is based on sustainable principles.
Primo has chosen to take up the sustainability challenge by launching a string of internal initiatives and by implementing a green transition in cooperation with customers and organisations - our program FUTURE FIT. The initiatives will reduce the amount of plastic waste generated from production and underpin a more sustainable use of plastics. The initiatives share the common goal to promote an environmentally sound approach throughout the entire life-cycle of a plastic product, from production through processing in the construction sector until the scrap is recycled.
The measures cover three main focus areas：
-
INNERNAL MEASURES
Internal measures to optimize the re-use of scrap from production by investing in technology that can handle all types of cut-off and sawdust from Primo's output. Consequently, more than 20 pct. of the
PVC used in Primo's global products is made of recycled granulate from Primo's own factories.
01 -
HANDLING OF RESIDUAL PRODUCTS
Handling of residual products from the customers' processing of profiles from Primo. This is more complex since it involves cooperation with external actors. However several cases show that the initiative functions well, both by being able to save tonnes of waste and by being economically sound.
02 -
BINDING COOPERATION WITH INTERNATIONAL ORGANISATIONS
Binding cooperation with international organisations, in which the actors in the plastics industry formulate common guidelines for how to generate the least possible amount of waste from plastic production.
