Building the Future from the Ground Up: A Greenfield DRS Project in the Faroe Islands
At Nordic Recycling Systems, we are proud to be involved from the very beginning of a landmark project: the first Greenfield Deposit Return System (DRS) in the Faroe Islands.
Being part of a Greenfield development means we have been on board from the initial stages, designing and implementing a system where nothing existed before. This project represents more than just a new installation; it marks the start of an exciting new era for the Faroe Islands and their commitment to the circular economy.
Installation period: Jan Jan-Mar 2026
Status: Ongoing
Location: The Faroe Islands
A project of this scale requires strong local expertise, and we have been fortunate to work alongside IRF (Interkommunalur Renovationsfelagsskapur), the Faroe Islands' premier intermunicipal waste management company.
The collaboration between Nordic Recycling Systems and IRF has been characterized by professional synergy and a shared vision.
By operating in the middle of the North Atlantic we believe that sustainability should have no boundaries.
However, our robust technology ensures that even in isolated island communities,
high-efficiency bottle and can recycling is not just possible, but seamless.
By combining our specialized DRS technology with IRF’s extensive experience in local waste management, we have ensured that the new sorting infrastructure is perfectly adapted to the islands' needs.
We are proud to partner with such a forward-thinking organization to deliver a world-class recycling solution for the Faroese people.
