Ineos and Recuro plan chemical recycling plant in Norway
Ineos and Norwegian recycler Recuro have announced a partnership to build a chemical recycling facility named "Full Circle" at Ineos' polymer site in Bamble, Norway. The renewable-powered plant is designed to process up to 33,000 metric tons of plastic waste a year via pyrolysis, converting it into virgin-quality recycled polyethylene aimed at food and medical packaging.
Why this mattersAdds food-grade chemically recycled polyethylene supply, helping converters meet recycled-content rules for demanding packaging applications.
