Aniline news

A 2kt/year pilot plant will recycle polyurethane foam into high-purity aniline for MDI, reducing carbon footprint by up to 40%. Operational by 2028, it targets hard-to-recycle rigid foam.

The new plant will boost MDI production, create 40 jobs, and enhance energy efficiency. It aims to meet rising demand for insulation materials amid high energy costs and sustainability trends.

The project will expand aniline production in Antwerp, with completion expected by 2024. It will use advanced technologies for safety and efficiency, enhancing the site's infrastructure and logistics.

Investing EUR 300 million, the new unit will launch in 2022, enhancing supply for MDI production. The project will boost job creation and utilize advanced safety and energy-efficient technologies.
