Syklo

Syklo starts up 50,000-tonne plastics recycling plant in Finland

Finnish recycler Syklo has started up a mixed plastics recycling plant in Hyvinkää with annual capacity of 50,000 tonnes, the largest such facility in the country. The EUR 70-80 million investment raises Finland's overall plastics recycling capacity by about 50 percent and created over 100 jobs, producing recycled PP and PE grades alongside biocomposite materials.

Why this mattersThe plant materially expands European recycled-plastics supply ahead of PPWR recycled-content requirements, tightening competition for feedstock and offtake.

• The Hyvinkää plant has annual capacity of 50,000 tonnes of mixed plastic waste, the largest in Finland
• Syklo invested EUR 70-80 million in the facility
• The plant raises Finland's overall plastics recycling capacity by around 50 percent
• Output includes rPP, rHDPE and rLDPE sold under the Sykloplast brand
• The plant uses Impact Recycling's BOSS sorting technology
• Syklo is also producing biocomposites under the Syklocomp brand with initial capacity of 8,000 tonnes per year
