Approximately 240 000 tonnes of plastic waste is generated every year by Danish households and businesses. Unfortunately only 13% of this is recycled. When the time comes to discard of your Marø board, it can be melted down and made into a new recycled product, thanks to the fact that the material is 100% PP.

1 Collection

Plastic waste recycled by Danish households is collected, sorted and cleaned


2 Granulation

The material are ground down to a flaky consistency and then melted into pellets creating the different coloured batches

3 Extrusion & heat pressing

The pellets are heated up and extruded into thick slabs. The result is a board with a swirly pattern and sprinkles of colour

4 Finishing

The material is milled and sanded down to a smooth finish and the edges are treated after the desired size is reached

Denmark produces 350,000 tons of plastic waste annually

57%

Of plastic is incinerated


Denmark ranks low at EU level for plastics packaging collected for recycling because of its large waste incineration infrastructures that limit incentives to recycle. In order to tackle that issue, Denmark is aiming to reduce its incineration rate by 80% by 2030. Additionally, the Danish government is investing in alternative waste treatment solutions to reduce reliance on incineration, promoting a shift toward more sustainable waste management practices.

28%

Of plastic is exported

In 2017, Denmark exported 48.2 tons of plastic waste. 58% ended up in Germany, which is known to export large quantities of its plastic waste to South-East Asian countries such as Malaysia. This makes waste treatment data difficult to trace and hinders improvements related to waste treatment. This highlights the current need to keep our waste at home to ensure better control over recycling and reducing the environmental impact of waste exportation.

13%

Of plastic is recycled

Denmark is among the European countries that recycle the least:

The savings from not importing new plastic raw material could save the Danish economy as much as 1.6 billion DKK per year. Recycling is therefore a political priority for the country, which aims to recycle 55% of its plastic waste by 2030. To achieve this goal, Denmark is implementing new national regulations that promote recycling infrastructure, improve sorting systems, and engage citizens in better waste separation practices.
