A group of 4 substances
Also known as Melted, shredded, or extruded plastics , Regranulated post-consumer or post-industrial polymers , and Compounded recyclates (often for non-food contact or lower-spec applications).
chemXplore tracks 142 projects involving physically reprocessed plastics, of which 42 are active.
Of the active ones, 28 new construction, 12 expansion and 1 revamp / retrofit.
12 active projects carry no start-up date yet. The dates themselves, per project, are for subscribers.
Glassfiber-reinforced PBT/PET compounds with up to 30% post-consumer recycled PET for structural automotive parts, supporting Scope 3.1 reductions and regulatory targets.
700,000 b/d single‑train refinery in Kenya to come online faster by reusing proven designs, cutting development time by nearly two years; will make fuels and polypropylene and handle varied crudes.
Confirmatory due diligence underway; key JV terms and quantified synergies to be finalized by October 2026.
Closure driven by weak demand, high energy costs and import pressure; 165,000 t/yr PVC capacity affected; Q1 2027 shutdown and ~$205m pre-tax charges.
Includes license for a world‑scale mixed‑feed ethylene cracker and PDP/FEED for integrated units producing ethylene, propylene, HDPE/LLDPE and polypropylene.
EUR 6 million expansion adds 1,100 m² and three extrusion lines for PE and PP pipes; first line expected operational in 2027 to boost European supply capacity.
Exclusive Licensing Collaboration makes one partner the worldwide licensor of CTR® LDPE technology, formalising long-standing cooperation and leveraging decades of execution expertise.
Partnership to accelerate adoption of low‑carbon polyethylene packaging by combining materials, packaging scale and verified product carbon data to cut Scope 3 emissions.
Plant-derived isosorbide plastic blended with other transparent resins achieves pearlescent, seashell-like compact cases with retained durability and weather resistance.
Operational gains, cost control and market recovery drove stronger earnings; capex fell 18%, renewables expanded, and dividend remains paused until net debt is sustainably below US$3bn.
