BEWI invigde cirkulär hubb i Norrköping

brainforest — Mon, 09 Dec 2024 12:00:04 +0000

BEWI har invigt en ny anläggning i Norrköping för återvinning av EPS. Den är den första i sitt slag i Sverige och presenterades för kunder, leverantörer och samarbetspartners den 27 november. Bland dessa fanns välkända företag som STENA Recycling, Site ZERO, Renall, Elgiganten och flera andra.

BEWI är en av Europas största producenter och återvinnare av EPS. Som en pionjär inom återvinning av EPS driver BEWI anläggningar i Tjeckien, Portugal och nu även Sverige. Genom detta strategiska nätverk kan BEWI optimera logistiken för både insamling och återvinning på ett effektivt och hållbart sätt.

Företaget samlar in använd EPS och komprimerar det (eftersom det består av nittioåtta procent luft). Sedan transporteras det till den nya anläggningen i Norrköping för återvinning. Mellan 700 och 800 ton EPS per månad, som annars hade förbränts, kommer nu att återvinnas. Det motsvarar 6000 lastbilar med icke-komprimerad EPS. Det återvunna materialet kan sedan användas för tillverkning av ny EPS.

– Den nya anläggningen i Norrköping är ett stort bidrag till vårt och våra kunders mål att sluta kretsloppet. Vi kan nu säkerställa att EPS inte kastas bort utan i stället återinförs i produktionscykeln, säger Johan Borggren, regionchef för BEWI Circular Sweden.

Den strategiska placeringen i Norrköping möjliggör effektiv transport till och från kunder samt BEWI:s insamlingsanläggningar runt om i Sverige och Europa. Anläggningen har dessutom goda möjligheter att expandera i framtiden.

– Fler kunder ställs inför högre krav och efterfrågar cirkulära lösningar. Vår hantering av EPS skapar ett slutet kretslopp som sparar på naturresurser, sänker koldioxidutsläpp och minskar både avfallshantering samt vattenförbrukning, säger Elin Sohlberg, Head of Operations på BEWI Circular.

Förutom den nya anläggningen i Norrköping har koncernen återvinningsanläggningar med en sammanlagd årlig återvinningskapacitet på 35 000 ton. Förra året samlade BEWI in 27 000 ton använd EPS för återvinning. Företaget siktar högre och har en uttalad ambition att fortsätta öka sin insamling.

Scandinavian technology promises repeated recycling of polystyrene

User 3 — Tue, 14 May 2024 12:00:52 +0000

The Scandinavian pioneer in plastics recycling technology, BEWI, discussed the possibilities of recycling packaging materials with key players in Slaný. Representatives from five leading users of recycled plastics from the Czech Republic, Great Britain, Germany, the Netherlands, and Poland met with a delegation from BEWI Circular, who stands as one of the foremost European pioneers in closed- loop recycling technology.

At the BEWI Circular facility in Slaný, the company showcased its technology for recycling Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) into rGPPS (recycled polystyrene), which can be reused repeatedly, whether as insulation or as packaging solutions. “Implementing a closed-loop concept is no easy task.

While most companies aspire to implement sustainability solutions, executing them can present numerous challenges. At BEWI Circular, we possess the requisite technology and equipment, enabling us to undertake this work for our partners and customers,” remarked Aljosa Krizman, CEO of BEWI Circular, during the event.

Recycling has now become a focal point for senior management across Europe. The revision of Directive 94/62/EC on packaging and packaging waste as part of the EU Circular Economy Package mandates the recycling of all packaging materials entering the market by January 2030 and requires them to be fully recyclable by January 2035. By 2025, 65% of plastic packaging is expected to be recyclable.

Czech companies are exploring options for recycling packaging materials and taking proactive steps much earlier than necessary, which is encouraging to see
Artem Ocheretin, CEO of BEWI Czechia

At BEWI, we advocate for a closed-loop recycling approach, and we currently collect and recycle more used EPS than any other insulation company in Europe. Cooperation is essential for creating a more sustainable future where resources are conserved, and plastics are reused and recycled.

Bewi Circular recycles used polystyrene in Slany

brainforest — Wed, 17 Apr 2024 13:39:03 +0000

Svetbaleni.cz visited the operations of Bewi Circular in Slaný. Bewi Group, headquartered in Norway, acquired a 34% stake in the recycling company Inoplast a few years ago, and now fully owns and continues to develop its operations. Representatives from the company’s top management in Scandinavia are currently on-site in Slaný overseeing the operations.

They are showcasing the unique technology primarily to representatives of international and local institutions and companies. Artem Ocheretin, the General Manager of Bewi Czechia, guided the packaging world through the entire process of mechanical recycling of used polystyrene into granules, which are then used in other European branches of the Bewi Group to produce insulation boards for use in construction or new material for customized packaging for specific products (the process takes place in the European plants of the Bewi Raw division). In Slaný, they process 10,000 to 12,000 tons of material annually.

The polystyrene destined for recycling is compacted in compactors before transport to Slaný, allowing 12 to 15 tons to be loaded onto a single truck. The resulting granules are shipped in sacks placed on pallets (each sack holds 1200 kg of granules) and transported again by trucks. The material accepted for recycling mainly consists of used boxes for frozen fish and electronic packaging, mainly from abroad. Bewi Circular is currently exploring options to collect a larger quantity of polystyrene for recycling directly in the Czech Republic. To make its transport to the processing site economical, it is necessary to compact it with the aforementioned compactors so that the transported material has the most favourable volume-to-weight ratio.

Users of recycled plastics were also present on-site. Representatives from Bewi Circular, providing technology for closed-loop recycling, met in Slaný with representatives from five leading users of recycled plastics from the Czech Republic, the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, and Poland.

The aim of these meetings is to prepare for the EU deadline in 2025, by which 65% of plastic packaging must be recyclable.

It is very positive that the Czech industry is taking timely steps in the area of packaging as part of the commitments of companies in the ESG field. However, it is not surprising – the Czech Republic has long been ahead in the field of sustainability.
Aljosa Krizman, CEO of Bewi Circular

Recycling is now a major focus of corporate management throughout Europe. The revision of Directive 94/62/EC on packaging and packaging waste as part of the EU Circular Economy package mandates that all packaging materials entering the market must be recycled by January 2030 and must be fully recyclable by January 2035. A total of 65% of plastic packaging is to be recyclable by 2025.

Czech companies are exploring options for recycling packaging materials and taking proactive steps much earlier than necessary, which is great.
