25 Sep 2023 --- Swedish Plastic Recycling is investing approximately SEK 1 billion (US$90 million) in building the world’s largest and most modern facility for plastic recycling, Site Zero, located in Motala, Sweden. The facility, which will reportedly open on November 15, will be able to recycle all plastic packaging from Swedish households and make plastics circular without emitting carbon. With Site Zero Swedish Plastic Recycling says it is doubling its capacity to approximately 60,000 square meters and will process 200,000 metric tons of plastic packaging annually. Due to cutting-edge technology, it will be possible to recycle practically all types of plastic. Currently, the facility can manage four types of plastic, but in the future, Site Zero will sort and recycle twelve different types. This will include PP, high-density PE, low-density PE, PET tray, PET bottles (colored and transparent), PP film, polystyrene, expanded polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, two grades of polyolefin mix, metal and non-plastic waste.
