Plastic as a Resource – with a Focus on Recycling

Climate Partner – Esbjerg Municipality

Esbjerg Municipality has set an ambitious goal: to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. This is a major task that requires action—and collaboration. Therefore, the municipality is reaching out to local companies to achieve this goal together.

At Dansk Plast, we are proud to be part of Esbjerg Municipality’s climate partnership. We look forward to working together with the municipality and the other climate partners, where we can jointly contribute to a more sustainable future for our local community.

We take this responsibility seriously and have already initiated several concrete measures:

🔋 Transition to electric vehicles – We are gradually converting our company cars to electric vehicles to reduce CO₂ emissions.
♻️ More recycling – We encourage our customers to increase the use of recycled plastic in our products to reduce environmental impact.
📊 ESG reporting – We prepare annual ESG reports to ensure transparency and document our progress.

We look forward to contributing to the green transition—locally rooted, with a global perspective. 🌍

Plastic as a Resource

Plastic is our primary raw material, and we therefore place particular emphasis on responsible material use and efficient resource utilization. Our approach to the circular economy includes extending the service life of existing facilities where it is technically and operationally feasible.

We offer refurbishment solutions in which existing structures—such as older concrete tanks—are lined with solid plastic sheets. This solution creates a new, tight, and corrosion-resistant internal surface that can significantly extend the functional service life of the structure. By renovating rather than constructing new facilities, the need for new materials, demolition, and disposal of existing structures is reduced.

This approach makes it possible to preserve existing infrastructure while maintaining functionality and operational reliability.

Plastic Waste and Recycling

All plastic waste from production is sorted into fractions (PP, PE, etc.).

• Plastic waste is sorted and sent for recycling where possible.

• Cardboard is compacted and sent for recycling.

• Non-recyclable plastic and small combustible waste are sent for incineration.

• We did not generate hazardous waste in 2025.

• We continuously work to reduce waste and increase the share of waste that can be recycled.

In addition, we advise customers on the use of recycled PP and PE where it is technically feasible, as material choices influence the climate footprint across the value chain.
