In the summer of 2017, Norwegian Plastic Recycling AS (NOPREC) launched the brand new granulation line at Matmortua. After test driving and fine-tuning the plant, high-quality plastic raw material is now produced from discarded farming cages, feed bags and hoses from the aquaculture industry and ropes, plastic cans and other plastic waste from the fishing industry.

The facility is co-located with Containerservice Ottersøy AS on Matmortua. This makes it possible to control and track the waste from the time it is reported by the customer until it is transported out as plastic granules, finished recycled raw material. The collaboration with Containerservice Ottersøy AS is close, and together the two companies can deliver a comprehensive service with collection, processing and recycling of plastic. We run R&D projects with small and large partners, and want to contribute to driving the Norwegian circular economy forward by driving plastic waste from Norway back into Norwegian plastic production.
