Lamor’s chemical plastic recycling plant in Kilpilahti, Porvoo is Finland’s first industrial-scale facility complex utilising pyrolysis technology, in which consumer plastic waste – such as food packaging – will be converted into certified circular oil. Lamor’s solution will reduce the need for fossil-based imported raw materials and raise the recycling rate to a new level: Once all four production lines are completed, the plant will be able to process approximately 40,000 tonnes of plastics per year, which will increase Finland’s recycling rate comfortably above the EU’s 50 % target. The current level is only around 30 %.
