Duales System Holding and Scrap Solutions set up DKRaastoffer A/S as a joint venture

“In Fredericia, we are founding the basis for putting in place a recycling operation of superlative quality in terms of both economic viability and ecological awareness”, declared Stefan Schreiter, Managing Partner and CEO of DSD – Duales System Holding GmbH & Co. KG. With an opening ceremony, the new plastics processing facility of DKRaastoffer A/S in the Danish city of Fredericia was officially inaugurated. In the presence of the Chairman of the Southern Denmark Region, Carl Holst, and the Mayor of Fredericia, Thomas Banke, DSD’s CEO Schreiter gave the green light for the plant to begin operation.

DKRaastoffer prepares plastic waste from Danish municipalities for recycling. This will then be recovered in Europe, and need not be disposed of in refuse incineration plants or even shipped to China without being sorted. “The facility is thus making an important contribution to resource conservation and a sustainable supply of raw materials in Denmark”, emphasized Stefan Schreiter. “This secures jobs in Denmark and offers a problem-solving option for Danish municipalities who want to do more in terms of recycling.”

DKRaastoffer A/S is a joint venture owned by Duales System Holding and the Danish company Scrap Solutions ApS. The facility in Fredericia is able to process 20,000 tons of mixed plastic waste a year. This operation has created twelve jobs to start with. The plastics are sorted, and marketed as bales or regrinds comprising polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
