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.
In May 2022, Eurazeo and Quantafuel joined forces to establish Denmark’s largest plastic sorting facility – ReSource Denmark. The plant, which offically opened in May 2024 has the capacity to sort 160,000 tons of plastic waste every year.
The plant consists of a state-of-the art high-tech sorting system that separates the plastic waste into mono fractions suitable for selling to all types of recycling facilities, including mechanical and chemical recycling.

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.
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.
