Convert plastic waste into about 10,000 t/y of renewable aromatic oil and downstream benzene, phthalic anhydride and aromatics for circular supply chains; first plant operational early 2028.
Stake in Grandpuits recycling plant transferred to full ownership; plant uses TAC™ technology under licence and recycles 15,000 t/yr.
First commercial ICCP plant in Delfzijl will process 20,000 t/yr mixed plastic into ~10,000 t/y BTX aromatic oil and ~8,000 t/y by-products, cutting GHG 70–80%.
First commercial plant directly converting mixed plastic waste into 10,000 t/yr BTX plus 8,000 t by-products; construction begins early 2027, start-up mid‑2028.
Advanced pyrolysis plant at Bamble will process 33,000 t/yr of end-of-life plastics, powered by renewable energy to produce recycled ethylene and virgin-quality recycled polyethylene.
Flexible food-grade film made from chemically recycled mixed plastic via ISCC PLUS mass-balance; MoReTec-1 to supply 50,000 t/yr feedstock; Taghleef and Amcor handled film and conversion.
Feasibility study to use natural hydrogen from a South Australia project as core feedstock for green methanol, with a preliminary study planned in H2 2026.
€1.5M EU grant for FEED of a Rotterdam-area chemical recycling plant, enabling terminal co-location, heat integration and logistics optimisation to lower CO₂ and improve economics.
New 15,000 t/yr advanced recycling plant now producing TACOIL from hard-to-recycle plastics, feeding petrochemical sites to make high-quality, food- and medical-grade plastics.
The new facility processes 150,000 tons of waste plastic annually, advancing chemical recycling and reducing fossil resource use and emissions.
