Re-think plastic

Plastic is a fantastic material with many good qualities for creating durable products. But it is important that plastic is handled with care throughout the entire lifecycle of the product (the chain). All too often plastic results in waste or is incinerated unnecessarily, instead of being recycled and used for new products.

it's time to re-think plastic

Stena Recycling has developed innovative new recycling processes and services that make it possible to, e.g. take care of plastics in electronics and plastics from industry. The plastic from electronics must be carefully separated into different qualities, depending on if the plastic is completely clean and ready to be recycled or if, e.g. it contains hazardous substances such as flame retardants.

Plastic containing hazardous substances is energy recovered under controlled conditions. Other plastics are separated into four main groups: ABS, PP, PE and PS. Stena Recycling can also separate plastic into different colours based on our customers' needs. That is how we create more plastic that can be recycled by manufacturers. More and more companies now want to use recycled plastic. This is necessary because the use of plastic will probably continue to increase in the future.

This is how we create the loop together
