With a new recycling centre in Copenhagen, the City of Copenhagen and Amager Ressourcecentre want to support a transition to circular economy, which considers used items a resource rather than pure waste. 

At the Sydhavn Recycling Centre, residents will be able to hand in material that is suitable for reuse or repair – e.g. old boards and bricks.

To promote and support a transition to a circular economy, at least 50 percent of the materials used in the construction of the recycling centre will be recycled or certified to sustainable standards.
