Delivering on Renewi's organic growth commitments
Opening of hard plastics sorting facility Acht
Renewi plc ("Renewi", the "Company" or, together with its subsidiaries, the
"Group") (LSE: RWI.L: Euronext Amsterdam: RWI.AS), a leading European
waste-to-product company, announces the recent opening of its hard plastics
sorting facility in Acht, The Netherlands. With this strategic investment,
first announced during its Capital Markets Day ("CMD") in October 2023, Renewi
is delivering on its sustainable organic growth objectives.
Hard plastics are used in a wide variety of products, including children's
toys, garden furniture, electronics, household appliances, cars and
containers. The newly opened facility will allow the Company to recycle not
only separately collected plastics, such as a hard plastic mix from recycling
centres, but also more contaminated material from construction and demolition
waste. The installation categorises plastics into as many as 18 distinct
product streams, with polypropylene and polyethylene being the primary
streams. By implementing advanced technology and incorporating sorting and
cleaning processes, the purity rate for both types of plastic is a minimum of
95%. This advancement expands the range of high-quality products that can be
manufactured using recycled materials.
Ongoing commitment to innovation in recycling
With the opening of its new facility, Renewi advances its recycling efforts,
solidifying its position as a leader in the sector and reducing reliance on
traditional waste disposal methods. The Acht facility showcases Renewi's
innovative approach towards future recycling processes and will help increase
the Company's recycling rate further. Renewi aims to expand partnerships with
industry leaders and stakeholders, reaffirming its commitment to
sustainability and helping leading the charge towards a waste-free future.
In FY23, Renewi recycled 7 million tons of the total incoming waste,
generating a recycling rate of 63.4%. By leveraging state-of-the-art
technology, Renewi continues to enhance its recycling capabilities, producing
more and more low-carbon secondary materials. Through ongoing innovation and
investment in research and development, Renewi seeks to refine its processes
and explore new recycling avenues to meet the growing demands of the circular
economy.
In FY22 the Company, announced it would invest over €100m over the
subsequent 3 years leading to a €20m EBIT improvement. This plan encompassed
projects such as optimising residual waste sorting, advancements in household
appliance recycling and production of biofuels like bio-LNG and green gas from
food waste, showcasing promising advancements and reaffirming Renewi's
commitment to delivering on its promises. The Acht plastics sorting facility
is expected to contribute to achieving Renewi's EBIT and topline growth
targets as well as help make progress towards a more sustainable future.
Looking forward, Renewi remains committed to investing in high-return projects
to drive growth and margin improvement.
