DeNova Recycling

About DeNova

DeNova is a modern waste sorting company. Our vision is to become the leading company in Europe for sorting complex waste fractions on our sorting lines.
A large portion of the waste that was previously sent to landfill or incineration contains materials that, with proper sorting and treatment, can be recycled. This helps reduce the environmental burden.

We sort iron, aluminum, and other metals from other waste so they can be recycled at processing facilities and given a new life.

Additionally, we specialize in sorting plastic. Today, there are many different types of plastic that require different treatments depending on their composition. This makes the sorting process crucial to maximizing recyclability.

DeNova is located in the former halls of DFJ, De Forende Jernstøberier, where heavy industry has been present since the 1930s. Many of the oil burners and wood stoves found across Denmark were cast at this site. DeNova took over the buildings after DFJ and has since been working on maintaining and restoring the old industrial facilities.

Recycling

When metals are recycled, there is no need to extract new raw ore from mines. This also eliminates the highly energy-intensive processing of raw ore, as metals recovered from waste can be directly reused in industries such as steelworks and aluminum production.

Similarly, recycled plastic also reduces the environmental impact significantly. When plastic is incinerated, some types release toxic gases and greenhouse gases. Even the least harmful types only produce CO₂ and water vapor. However, since most plastics are made from crude oil, a fossil fuel, burning them affects the environment in the same way as any other fossil fuel combustion.

Today, DeNova continues to strive for new ways to recycle and process what others consider waste.
