Danish authorities give green light to Quantafuel’s Esbjerg plant
After a six-month process, Esbjerg City Council yesterday unanimously approved Quantafuel’s Environmental Impact application for its planned new recycling plant in Esbjerg.
The project design includes a feedstock pre-treatment plant integrated with a chemical recycling plant. The pre-treatment facility will sort plastic waste into qualities suitable for our unique chemical recycling process, as well as traditional mechanical recycling - ensuring an unmatched plastic recycling grade. In addition, with full tracking and logistics capacities, every step of the value chain will be documented.
“We are grateful for the support the City Council has given us throughout this process,” says Quantafuel’s Erik Rynning, who is heading the project at Esbjerg,

From day one, Quantafuel’s fundamental idea has been to solve the world’s plastic waste problem by transforming soiled plastic into new products. What makes Quantafuel unique, is that we have developed technology that purifies the gas formed by the process and alter the molecules. This allows us to produce a chemically-recycled, attractive product that satisfies a huge demand in the market.
Quantafuel solution is to place a value on plastic waste. We must start treating used plastic as a valuable resource, establishing a model for waste plastic collection and upgrading it to recycled products. The entire value chain needs to be circular.
