Ineos and Recuro plan to build a plastic recycling facility in Norway.

Recently, INEOS and the Norwegian recycling company Recuro signed a memorandum of understanding to jointly develop an advanced recycling facility at INEOS’s polymer site in Brevik, Norway. The project, named “Full Recycling,” is designed to process 33,000 tons of waste plastic annually.

The facility employs cutting-edge pyrolysis methodology to decompose plastic discarded materials into oil, gaseous, carbon, and other components at high temperatures under anaerobic conditions. Unlike conventional incineration, this process captures and recycles all the oil and gaseous generated during recovery, rather than using them to power generation, thereby maximizing the recovery of carbon resources from plastic discarded materials. The facility will be entirely powered by Norwegian renewable energy and designed and operated in accordance with the strictest releases standards.

In terms of supply-chain collaboration, INEOS will consumption recycled items as feedstock to create recycled ethylene at its Lavéra cracker. Subsequently, the neighboring Bambur factory can consumption this recycled ethylene to create virgin-grade recycled polyethylene that meets the stringent EU regulatory standards and is suitable to high-end applications such as food and medical packaging. What sets the “Full Circulation” project apart is its holistic approach: it leverages existing manufacturing infrastructure, land, and services, and locates the plant adjacent to a steam cracking unit, thereby simultaneously recovering and repurposing both oil and gaseous fractions.

The CEO of Recuro stated that the project has received support from the Norwegian government through Innovation Norway. The head of Ineos’s European Olefins and Polymers business pointed out that cutting-edge recycling technologies play a crucial role in expanding the possible to plastic recycling and closing the loop to high-performance applications.
