The World has a problem: Plastic waste
Since 1950 approximately 8.3 billion tonnes of plastics have been produced globally, half of which in the last 13 years alone.
This corresponds to approx. 400 million tons in CO2 emission per year.
This corresponds to approx. 400 million tons in CO2 emission per year.
A Detriment to our Environment
Over 5 million tonnes of plastic waste seep into our environment and ocean every year. Around 11% of this plastic waste, stems from the maritime industry in the shape of fishing nets, trawls, ropes, and boxes.

The World is Waking Up
A systemic shift towards a circular economy for plastic, in which plastic never becomes waste, is required.
If we do not rethink to recapture and recycle plastic waste for a sustainable future, we risk billions of tons of plastic in our oceans by 2050.

Sustainability: The licence to operate
Businesses globally need to realise that their “license-to-operate” will depend on incorporating sustainability into their business model.
Plastix is part of the global movement
Plastix combats Ocean Plastic by preventive actions:
Our innovative technology and processes present a solution to a substantial waste problem.
We contribute to a more circular economy,
We reduce the amount of waste to landfill, oceans, and CO2 emissions
We prevent valuable resources from being lost.

FROM ROPE TO ROPE – PLASTIX and Industry partners close the loop.
In a joint collaboration, PLASTIX, DFS, epsotech, and Randers Reb create the first ever maritime rope- made from PLASTIX’ recycled post-use maritime ropes.
This comes as ground-breaking proof that the circular loop, even on products as technically complex as maritime gear, can be fully and successfully closed, to be recycled again and again.
“It taps into the reality that any plastics consuming industry must start integrating the minimum amount of Green Plastics into their products thereby legitimising their ‘Licence to Operate’”

COMING UP… ‘GREEN’ PLASTIC SHEETS
PLASTIX partners with epsotech, a leading extruder of plastic sheets. Driven by CEO Dr. Matthias Stein and his team, epsotech has yesterday confirmed its strategic decision to offer their customers products produced from post-consumer recycled materials, such as PLASTIX' OceanIX, thereby joining the fight for preventive action against ocean waste and against climate change.
EXPANDED RANGE OF APPLICATIONS
This collaboration, to produce extruded sheets in various thicknesses and shapes, now expands the range of possible applications when using OceanIX to a variety of vacuum-formed applications for the mobility and commercial segment, packaging and even building materials.
We are excited to embark on this journey together.

AI KAMERATEKNOLOGI SKAL REVOLUTIONERE PLASTIKGENANVENDELSE
PLASTIX deltager i et nyt forskningsprojekt, hvor kunstig intelligens bruges til at udvikle en kamerabaseret sorteringsmaskine, der kan finsortere plastikaffald efter type og gøre det muligt i langt højere grad at anvende genanvendt plast i fremstillingsindustrien.
Plastik er - modsat den gængse opfattelse - på ingen måde ét materiale, men derimod et miskmask af kemiske forbindelser og fyldstoffer, der gør plastik ganske besværligt at genanvende i stor stil.
Med en bevilling på 22,7 mio. kr. fra Danmarks Innovationsfond er Aarhus Universitet gået sammen med Vestforbrænding, @Dansk Affaldsminimering og PLASTIX om et projekt, der skal udvikle en helt ny teknologi, der har potentiale til markant at øge mulighederne for at genanvende plastmaterialer. Projektet kaldes Re-Plast, og vil betyde en løsning på en stor global udfordring med håndtering og genanvendelse af plastaffald.
Lektor Mogens Hinge leder projektet i samarbejde med adjunkt Pernille Klarskov Pedersen, ekspert i terahertz teknologi, begge fra AU Engineering, Aarhus Universitet.
