Its role Owner
Vioneo is a plastics and chemicals venture focused on decarbonizing polymer production. Launched by A.P. Moller Holding in 2024, the company aims to develop industrial-scale, fossil-free production of virgin polyethylene and polypropylene with full traceability.
Vioneo is progressing a site in Antwerp, Belgium, designed to use green methanol–based feedstocks and highly electrified processes powered by renewable energy. Its plans draw on established technologies for autoclave LDPE and polypropylene, with collaborations including engineering and technology partners to support front-end engineering design and catalyst supply. The company targets drop-in, low‑emission alternatives to conventional plastics and alignment with recognized certification schemes to ensure material segregation and chain-of-custody transparency.

Calls for SUPD to clarify treatment of fossil-free plastics, align rules with decarbonisation goals, harmonise EPR and fee eco-modulation, and incentivise renewable-carbon supply chains.
Europe's industry faces challenges from high costs and slow permits. Urgent action is needed to boost competitiveness and prevent further decline.
A new Antwerp plant will produce 110,000 tonnes of green LDPE annually using autoclave technology and green methanol, aiming to lead Europe's shift to sustainable plastics.
A new plant in Antwerp will produce fossil-free polypropylene using green methanol, renewable electricity, and hydrogen, reducing CO2 emissions and supporting sustainable plastics.
The plant will produce 300 ktpa of carbon-negative plastics from green methanol, reducing Scope 3 emissions and ensuring sustainable feedstock supply.
The project aims to cut CO2 emissions, create jobs, and needs stakeholder support, regulatory backing, and customer commitment for success.
