Lamor Corporation Plc | Press Release | April 08, 2026 at 14:29:00 EEST
During the first part of the year, Lamor has prepared to initiate the production ramp‑up of the first production line at its Kilpilahti facility, which produces circular oil from plastic waste for use as feedstock by the plastics industry. As this represents a new and developing industrial sector, Lamor has worked closely with the Finnish Safety and Chemicals Agency (Tukes) to address all safety requirements related to the ramp‑up of operations.
In early March, Lamor received a conditional approval, and at the end of the month the authorities specified, following inspections, the final requirements related to ramping up the first production line. Prior to commencing the production ramp‑up, a limited number of supplementary installations related to exceptional emergency operating scenarios must be completed.
“The plant is operationally ready to begin the production ramp‑up once the identified additional emergency related installations have been completed. Safety is a top priority in all our operations, and we have had constructive cooperation with the safety authorities,” says Johan Grön, CEO of Lamor Recycling Oy.
“Based on current assessments, the implementation of the supplementary installations will take approximately one month. Once the requirements have been fulfilled, Lamor will commence the production ramp‑up at the Kilpilahti facility without delay,” Grön adds.
Lamor will issue a separate announcement once the Kilpilahti facility has produced circular oil for the first time.
