In May 2024, Estiko Packaging Solutions had an opportunity to visit Svensk Plaståtervinning's Site Zero - the world's biggest plastic packaging sorting facility. Since its opening in 2018, this facility has been at the forefront of recycling innovation, enabling the responsible handling of 12 different types of plastics sourced from Scandinavian households.
Advanced technology allows up to 95% of plastics received to be effectively sorted from mixed plastic waste as each package travels through the facility on its 5 km journey, enabling efficient recycling in the next phase. This is a powerful step toward closing the loop on plastic packaging.
During the visit, we also added a little twist to the tour by dropping Estiko's packaging in the middle of other mixed waste. The results truly showcased the Swedish power of innovative recycling methods, sorting the sample seamlessly into a dedicated waste stream.
Watch the full video of Estiko's tour in #SiteZero to see how the #packaging waste transforms into new valuable resources.
