Research and development

As a pioneer in chemical recycling, Quantafuel’s dedicated research and development (R&D) facility in Malmö, Sweden is central to advancing sustainable solutions for plastic waste and supporting Viridor’s ambition to lead in circular resource recovery.

The technical and research experts at this facility drive improvements to Quantafuel’s chemical recycling technology by managing laboratory pilots and analytical facilities.

Plastic waste is often a complex, low-value mix that ends up underutilised, landfilled or polluting our oceans.

Quantafuel is redefining recycling with technology that transforms hard-to-recycle plastics into valuable resources.

Backed by ISCC PLUS certification, Quantafuel is setting a new standard for transforming waste into high-quality recycled products and driving a truly circular future.

“It is becoming clear that the industry must start treating used plastic as a valuable resource by establishing networks for plastic waste collection and then upgrading the collected material to recycled products. Certification has an important role to play in guaranteeing levels of recycled content, ensuring the traceability of waste and enabling credible claims for final products. Quantafuel has embraced this concept wholeheartedly, by enlisting the help of ISCC in its mission to change the world of recycling” says Dr Jan Henke, Director, ISCC.

“ISCC PLUS certification builds a foundation of trust and transparency that will help us bring more plastic waste into the circular economy,” says Quantafuel's SVP Sustainability & Feedstock Strategy, Thomas Steenbuch Tharaldsen
