Austrian chemical company Borealis has opened a new compounding line in Belgium, that can produce recycled polyolefins (rPO).
The line, in Beringen, was previously described by the company as "semi-commercial". Construction began in 2024.
The line can produce recycled polyethylene (rPE) and recycled polypropylene (rPP) from mechanically recycled plastic waste.
Borealis has expanded its mechanical recycling operations in recent years with the purchase of Bulgarian mechanical recycler Integra Plastics in April 2024 and Italian compounder Rialiti.
