- Borealis’ new compounding line in Beringen, Belgium, is now fully operational, providing high-quality, recyclate-containing polyolefin solutions for demanding applications in line with customer requirements
- Powered by Borcycle™ M technology, the line delivers consistent, high-performance recycled polypropylene and polyethylene materials
- The line complements Borealis’ recent acquisitions of Rialti and Integra Plastics and further advances Borealis’ circularity agenda
Borealis is proud to announce that its new compounding line for recyclate-based polyolefins (rPO) is now fully operational in Beringen, Belgium. This milestone marks a significant step forward in helping customers meet their circularity and sustainability targets – without sacrificing performance and reliability.
Using Borealis’ proprietary Borcycle M mechanical recycling technology, the line combines post-consumer and virgin polyolefins into rigid polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) compounds that meet the high standards required for demanding applications in mobility, consumer products, appliances, and energy.
The Beringen facility is not only designed to process a wide range of recyclate flakes, offering exceptional versatility to meet diverse customer needs, but it also serves as a platform for collaboration—enabling customers to co-develop and test new solutions that bring recycled plastics into high-value applications.
“This installation is more than just a technological milestone – it’s a clear commitment to our customers,” says Craig Arnold, Executive Vice President Polyolefins, Base Chemicals and Circular Economy Solutions. “By expanding access to high-quality recyclate-based materials, we’re enabling our partners to accelerate their circular transformation. This approach is fully aligned with our strategic ambition to drive sustainable growth through innovation and collaboration.”
The new line complements Borealis’ recent acquisitions of Rialti and Integra Plastics, further strengthening its position as a trusted partner in the transition to a circular economy for plastics.
Samples of products made with recylate based polyolefins will be showcased at our booth during K Show 2025, Düsseldorf, Germany, from 8–15 October – Hall 6, Stand A43
