The Nordic's biggest large-scale plastic waste sorting facility, ReSource Denmark, is currently under construnction and is expected to be commissioned at the end of 2023. In May 2023, Eurazeo and Quantafuel joined forces to establish the plant, which will have a capacity to receive and treat around 160,000 tons of plastic waste every year.
The plant will consist of a state-of-the art high-tech sorting system separating the plastic waste into mono fractions suitable for selling to all types of recycling facilities, including mechanical and chemical recycling.

This project will be a key contributor to meet the high recycling ambitions in Denmark, and we are excited to be able to do this in a sustainable manner with strong support from the local community and the municipality of Esbjerg.
The facility will play an important role for Denmark's plastic recycling targets. Currently around 85% of Denmark's plastic waste is either incinerated or exported. The Danish government has set the goal to recycle 80% of plastic by 2030.
ReSource is located in Esbjerg, just 5 km from the nearest train station, 8 km to the harbour and 500 m from the motorway.
When operational, the facility will employ close to 50 full-time employees. The next phase of the Esbjerg project will include a large-scale PtL plant based on Quantafuel's technology.
ReSource is located in Esbjerg on a 58,000 m2 site, with an option to extend with additional 48,000 m2. The location of the project makes it easily accessible for delivery of unsorted waste, whether it is by road, rail or sea. ReSource is just 5 km from the nearest train station, 8 km to the harbour and 500 m from the motorway.
