Projects
InFACT - circular value chain for flexible plastic packaging
The InFACT project (Infrastructure for the Flexible plastic Packaging Circular Transition) will build a circular value chain for flexible plastic packaging. The project aims to take household collected plastic from the trash can to new packaging - including for food. With InFACT, one of the most challenging plastic fractions will be turned into a real raw material for new packaging.
InFACT will demonstrate how household collected flexible plastic packaging can be transformed into new packaging in a cohesive value chain. The partners represent the entire value chain - from collection and sorting to recycling, packaging production, and food businesses.
Facts about the InFACT project:
The project runs from 2026 to 2028
The budget amounts to 24 million DKK
The project will demonstrate a circular infrastructure where flexible plastic packaging is transformed into new packaging
The results will form the basis for scaling up and contribute to realising the EU's packaging requirements in practice

CRISP project - Circular Recycling of rigid plastic
The CRISP Project (Circular Recycling Innovation for Sustainable Packaging) aims to contribute to the implementation of a circular plastic economy in Denmark and set new standards for recycling food packaging internationally.
This will include establishing and demonstrating solutions within circular recycling of hard plastics from household-sorted food packaging. With a budget of nearly 20 million DKK, the CRISP Project has the ambition to enable:
annual recycling of more than 30,000 tonnes of Danish plastic waste
annual savings of more than 44,200 tonnes of oil equivalents
92% reduction compared to the production of virgin plastic
