- Freepoint Eco-Systems and Source One will develop pretreatment facilities for plastic waste in Europe.
- These facilities will convert mixed plastic waste into feedstock for advanced and mechanical recycling.
- The collaboration supports European regulatory goals like the Green Deal and Circular Economy Action Plan.
- Source One will act as the Engineering, Procurement and Construction contractor.
Collaboration Overview
Freepoint Eco-Systems and Source One have entered a long-term collaboration to develop pretreatment facilities for plastic waste in Europe. This initiative aims to support the growth of pyrolysis infrastructure across the continent.
Facility Development
Under the agreement, Freepoint Eco-Systems will establish a network of pretreatment installations in key European markets. Source One will serve as the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction contractor for these facilities, which will convert mixed plastic waste into high-quality feedstock suitable for both advanced and mechanical recycling.
Technological Advancements
Source One has developed a high-standard pretreatment concept proven in commercial-scale operations. This system is designed to handle complex waste streams, such as mixed plastic packaging and flexible films, while reducing energy use and environmental impact. It sets a new benchmark for quality, operational efficiency, and compliance with evolving regulatory expectations.
Regulatory Alignment
The collaboration aligns with European regulatory drivers, including the Green Deal, the Circular Economy Action Plan, and the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation. These regulations mandate increased use of recycled content in plastic packaging, and the partnership aims to address bottlenecks in the plastic value chain to enhance material recovery and responsible plastic use across Europe.
