GRØNT PUNKT 

Grønt Punkt Norge AS 

Grønt Punkt Norge AS (“Green Dot Norway plc”) is a privately-owned non-profit company responsible for financing the recovery and recycling of used packaging on behalf of the industrial sector.

Quantafuel and GPN have a solution-oriented partnership to increase the material recycling rate in Norway by way of chemical recycling.

Agreement on the delivery and receipt of up to 10,000 tonnes of plastic waste from households. 

Together, GPN and Quantafuel have worked to define chemical recycling as material recycling on an equal footing with mechanical material recycling. This has been accepted by the Norwegian Environment Agency and is now emerging as a pioneer case for other Green Dot organisations in Europe.

• Access to Norwegian household plastic waste (where the waste originates).

• Chemical recycling of plastic that would otherwise be sent for incineration (increase recycling rate/save lost plastic/upcycle).

• Contributes to increasing the rate of material recycling in Norway through the establishment of a chemical material recycling value chain. 

• A material flow analysis is carried out that follows the plastic from the point it becomes waste to a new chemical raw material and plastic once again. 

• CO2 footprint, etc. is measured in the analysis. This is carried out by the renowned company NorSus (formerly Østfoldforskning). Such analyses have never previously been carried out in Europe, and will provide good insights into the value chain and utilisation rate when using chemical recycling.

“This is a pioneering project in chemical recycling and will show Europe how to achieve the ambitious targets set in the EU for plastics recycling. Grønt Punkt Norge is leading the way for Norway, and we are confident that other European countries will follow, says Tharaldsen”.

PLASTPIRATENE

Plastpiratene is an ambitious organisation focused on getting everyone involved in the plastic issue and taking part in cleaning up.

The organisation has a partnership agreement with Quantafuel that involves collected plastic being sent to Quantafuel’s plant for testing and assessment of whether it can be used in chemical recycling to make new plastic. 

Quantafuel supports the campaign and will provide big-bags to the diving teams and other collection campaigns organised by Plastpiratene. 

In addition to clearing plastic, Plastpiratene collect, secure and process scrapped boats and delivers them to recycling stations. If the boats are in suitable condition, they are refurbished and converted to electric boats for hire by the company Pirate rentals. Income will be used for the operation of Plastpiratene as soon as the company becomes profitable. So far three boats have been upcycled to electric boats. 

Quantafuel and Plastpiratene aim to establish an environmental port where Plastpiratene can collect and receive marine plastic waste, and then deliver this to Quantafuel for recycling into new plastic. 

Plastpiratene was established in May 2018 and has since cleared more than 70 tonnes of plastic waste from the marine environment. 

In addition to clearing plastic, Plastpiratene focuses on rehabilitating former prisoners and other disadvantaged people by giving them meaningful and socially-useful work. The Norwegian Correctional Service and Plastpiratene have entered into an agreement that allows former convicts to serve part of their sentences by clearing plastic, alongside disadvantaged young people.
