Bollegraaf and Denmark’s leading deposit system operator, Dansk Retursystem, unite for Denmark’s next-generation recycling plant. The partnership is setting a new standard in recycling efficiency and environmental responsibility through sustainable design and a commitment to high-quality sorting.
Bollegraaf and Dansk Retursystem are joining forces to create a state-of-the-art recycling facility in Fredericia, in Western Denmark. This cutting-edge plant will sort 2.5 to 3.5 million bottles and cans daily, reinforcing Denmark’s position as a global leader in sustainability and the circular economy.
The collaboration stemmed from a rigorous public tender process, with Bollegraaf emerging as the clear winner thanks to their unmatched expertise and innovative solutions. Charles Daridon, Bollegraaf’s Global Sales Director, emphasises the importance of tailoring their approach to Dansk Retursystem’s specific needs. “We worked closely with the client during the tender phase to understand what they wanted and didn’t want, ensuring our proposal was perfectly aligned with their vision.”
Jesper Larsen, Chief Operating Officer (COO) at Dansk Retursystem, notes that their choice was also informed by experience with their current factory in eastern Denmark. “We took lessons from the design and operation of that facility and used them to refine our requirements for Fredericia. Bollegraaf demonstrated the ability to meet these expectations comprehensively.”
