In Oslo, NG Group had a clear ambition: to make recycled paper competitive with virgin raw materials.
To achieve this, they decided to invest in a new paper sorting line that was designed around three practical goals:
✅ Increase automation.
✅ Increase operational flexibility.
✅ Maintain and improve output quality.
Azortum's role was system integration.
We engineered the overall layout, conveyors, structures, bunkers, material flow, and integration of specialist equipment. This meant bringing optical sorting, robotic sorting, feeding systems, and quality-control technology together into a single working production line.
The result is an automated paper sorting line capable of processing 20 tonnes per hour and up to 120,000 tonnes per year.
For Norsk Gjenvinning, the most important outcome is not only capacity, but the ability to produce high-quality secondary raw material with 97.5% de-ink fiber purity and less than 3% residue.
The fully automatic line also proved to be adaptable. This supported a later retrofit adding Tetra Pak recovery, showing how a well-integrated system can evolve with changing material streams and customer needs.
The result is a high-capacity paper-sorting line that provides NG Group with the flexibility, quality, and yield needed to produce secondary raw materials for industrial markets.

Trash goes in. Valuable materials come out. ♻️
That is the simple idea behind modern packaging waste sorting, but making it work reliably at industrial scale is anything but simple. Every sorting line has its own operational reality: input material can vary, space can be limited, timelines can be tight.
Sometimes a facility needs to be rebuilt and operational within months. Other times, the system has to be designed in stages because the exact composition of the waste stream is still evolving.
That is where engineering, experience, and flexibility matter.
At Azortum, we design and deliver waste sorting lines around the customer’s long-term business goals, taking into account also the material streams, capacity needs, and available footprint. Every step, from pre-sorting to final quality control, is designed to recover more value from waste.
Over the years, we have helped waste management companies overcome complex sorting challenges across the Baltics and Nordics.

This high-capacity shredding line processes 70 tons of biofuel per hour, including recycled waste wood.
By enabling a broader fuel mix, the line has supported a major increase in the use of recycled wood, from 20% to 75%. This gives the plant access to more cost-effective fuel sources, enabling it to keep a town of 50,000 residents warm through harsh Nordic winters. ❄️
For flexibility, the line has a two-stage shredding process. Pre-shredding and fine-shredding work together to give operators fast control over output fraction size.
By adjusting shredder programs and screen sizes, the plant can quickly switch between coarser and finer material, adapting to changing fuel quality and market availability.
The result is a highly versatile biofuel line capable of processing almost every fuel type available on the market.

This line processes 30 tons of municipal solid waste per hour and 7 tons of packaging waste per hour, which adds up to 45,000 tons per year.
Unlike traditional waste sorting plants, Eco Baltia’s line avoids intensive shredding and instead utilizes adaptive equipment and advanced optical sorting technologies.
