Plastic pipes and plastic film from construction

Important results from the project

The purpose of the project was to investigate the commercial conditions for recycling plastic films and pipes from the construction industry. The goal was to gather partners and write a project application. Both the purpose and the goal of the project have been fulfilled when it was possible to identify several opportunities to increase the profitability of construction companies by recycling more plastic and in addition collecting several stakeholders for an implementation project.

Expected long term effects

The result was an application for project funding for a feasibility study. One effect of the project was that a medium-sized construction company chose to buy a baler on trial to reduce its use of containers.

Approach and implementation

The project was conducted as a feasibility study in which relevant actors were contacted and the business conditions discussed.
