The Story Behind ACE Gruppen
From our humble beginnings to becoming a leader in sustainable recycling solutions, our journey has been defined by innovation, persistence, and environmental commitment.
Our Beginning
ACE Gruppen was founded by a team of engineers and environmental scientists united by a common vision: to develop innovative solutions for the growing plastic waste crisis.
First Facility
We opened our first recycling facility in Copenhagen, introducing our proprietary sorting and processing technology that could handle complex plastic waste streams.
International Expansion
After successful operations in Denmark, we expanded to Sweden and Germany, establishing partnerships with major manufacturers committed to sustainability.
Breakthrough Technology
We developed and patented our revolutionary process for recycling previously unrecyclable mixed plastics, significantly increasing the types of waste we could process.
Today
ACE Gruppen now operates four state-of-the-art facilities across Europe, processing over 45,000 tons of plastic waste annually and partnering with over 100 global companies.
Our Founding Vision
"We started ACE Gruppen with a simple but ambitious goal: to develop solutions that would make plastic recycling both environmentally impactful and economically viable. We believe that the most sustainable solutions are those that create value for all stakeholders – the environment, communities, and businesses."
