Planned Aliağa complex would total 850,000 t/yr across two 425 kTA swing lines; selection precedes the project's final investment decision and aims to expand domestic polyolefin supply.
Partners test advanced recycling to turn end-of-life XLPE wire insulation into recoverable hydrocarbon streams, enabling feedstock for petrochemical production and recycled plastics.
Sales rose to $11.3 billion and operating EBIT improved to $887 million; operating EPS returned to positive and free cash flow was $1.1 billion amid cost and asset actions.
Pursues green transitions, technology independence, integrated retail‑energy services and early-stage investments to build diversified strategic growth poles.
Pushes integrated regional bases, oil‑to‑chemicals/specialty conversions, smart factories and capacity rationalisation to secure feedstocks and high‑end materials for advanced manufacturing.
Specialty HDPE and a structural redesign cut package weight 12% and CO2 up to 25% while improving chemical resistance and transport durability.
Powder disinfectant effective vs bacteria, spores (incl. C. difficile), viruses, yeasts, fungi and mycobacteria; potassium monopersulfate + in‑situ chlorine; Class IIa device; sachets and bulk packs.
Project added used cooking oil and stretch plastics, collected 170,000+ kg of recyclables, cut over 400,000 kg CO2e, and runs Recycle Stations at six PTT sites on weekends.
