ACTIVITIES AND RESULTS IN 2024
The resource consumption (fuel, electricity,
and heating) of Marius Pedersen A/S in relation
to collecting, sorting, and recycling waste, as
well as producing recycled plastic granulate,
is associated with emissions of CO2, CO, NOX,
and SO2, which negatively impact the climate
and environment. Our focus is to reduce CO2e
We calculate CO2e emissions according to
emissions, as we thereby also achieve a reduc-
