BlueAlp is a Netherlands-based technology company specializing in the chemical recycling of plastic waste. It develops and licenses thermo-chemical (pyrolysis) processes that convert end‑of‑life plastics into liquid hydrocarbons, which can be upgraded into feedstocks for steam crackers and other units to make new polymers and chemicals.
Headquartered in Eindhoven, BlueAlp provides technology packages, engineering and scale-up support, and operational expertise for industrial recycling plants. Working with waste management firms, refiners, and polymer producers, its solutions aim to supply circular feedstocks suitable for high-quality applications, supporting the plastics value chain’s circularity and compliance with evolving regulatory standards.

Convert plastic waste into about 10,000 t/y of renewable aromatic oil and downstream benzene, phthalic anhydride and aromatics for circular supply chains; first plant operational early 2028.
First commercial ICCP plant in Delfzijl will process 20,000 t/yr mixed plastic into ~10,000 t/y BTX aromatic oil and ~8,000 t/y by-products, cutting GHG 70–80%.
First commercial plant directly converting mixed plastic waste into 10,000 t/yr BTX plus 8,000 t by-products; construction begins early 2027, start-up mid‑2028.
€1.5M EU grant for FEED of a Rotterdam-area chemical recycling plant, enabling terminal co-location, heat integration and logistics optimisation to lower CO₂ and improve economics.
Used diaper plastics collected, mechanically separated and chemically recycled into ISCC‑certified pyrolysis oil for new polymer production, demonstrating industrial-scale circularity in Europe
Licensed pyrolysis modules will convert hard-to-recycle plastics into circular BTX aromatics. Plant capacity ~20 kta; modules built now, shipping to site from Dec 2026.
Borealis transfers Renasci stake to BlueAlp, acquiring 10% of BlueAlp to boost chemical recycling, aligning with EU regulations and expanding recycled feedstock solutions.
The new plant will convert plastic waste into renewable aromatics, reducing carbon emissions. The €80M funding includes equity, debt financing, and grants, highlighting confidence in the innovative approach.
