TotalEnergies and Indaver Sign Agreement for Recycled Petrochemical Feedstock
- TotalEnergies will purchase feedstock from Indaver's Plastics2Chemicals plant.
- The plant in Antwerp is expected to be operational by 2024.
- Indaver will use depolymerization technology to recycle mixed polyolefins waste.
- TotalEnergies will convert the feedstock into high-quality circular polymers.
Agreement Overview
TotalEnergies and Indaver have signed a commercial agreement for the supply of petrochemical feedstock derived from the recycling of mixed polyolefins waste. This feedstock will be produced at Indaver’s first Plastics2Chemicals (P2C) plant in Antwerp, Belgium.
Plant Operations
Indaver’s P2C plant, currently under construction, is expected to become operational by 2024. The plant will utilize Indaver’s proprietary depolymerization technology to transform post-consumer mixed plastic waste into petrochemical feedstock.
Feedstock Processing
TotalEnergies will process the petrochemical feedstock into high-quality circular polymers at its Antwerp facilities. These recycled polymers will have properties and quality identical to virgin polymers, making them suitable for a wide range of demanding applications, including food-grade packaging.
Technological Impact
Indaver’s depolymerization technology allows for the recycling of end-of-life plastics such as polyolefins and polystyrene. This process converts them into a valuable petrochemical feedstock, significantly expanding the recycling possibilities for plastics that were previously non-recyclable or only suitable for low-value applications.
