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.

Today marks the inauguration of the world’s first sustainable playground by KOMPAN A/S, in the Danish town of Randers. The playground features PLASTIX’ Post-Consumer-Recyclates in many shapes: From injection molded climbing walls and extruded sheets, to rotomolded elements- a new life for used and discarded fishing nets and maritime ropes!
Plastic is a wonderous and multifunctional circular material.
We owe to our children to use it sustainably. ♻️

DANISH MINISTER AND WWF VISIT PLASTIX
Minister for Development Cooperation and Nordic Cooperation, Flemming Møller Mortensen, accompanied by the WWF delegation visits PLASTIX.
All three parties are joined in the common ambition to ensure the sustainable development captured within the Danida Market Development Partnership project “Waste-to-Value” in Kenya. The objective of the project is to turn plastic waste otherwise discarded in the natural environment into a valuable commodity whilst creating income opportunities and decent jobs in the region.
During the visit, PLASTIX CEO Hans Axel Kristensen stresses the importance of developed countries leading the way in rewiring the plastics economy by ensuring a working and feasible supply chain: “Now, more than ever we require urgent legislative intervention. We need legislators to set a mandatory recycled content for all plastic products”.
