The construction sector is responsible for a staggering 40% of Denmark’s total waste, making the reuse of materials critical in tackling the climate and biodiversity crisis. At RGS Nordic, they receive roughly 1/3 of Denmark’s construction waste and through innovative and collaborative efforts with leading industry actors ensure that 99% of this waste is either reused or recycled.
During this tour, participants will have the opportunity to explore the largest waste management facility in Denmark, based in Amager, Copenhagen. RGS Nordic, who runs the facility, will show firsthand how they transform used ROCKWOOL insulation into new Rockcycle insulation products, in partnership with ROCKWOOL Denmark. You will also see how waste plaster is repurposed into new plaster walls by Saint-Gobain Gyproc.
