These agreements ensure a consistent supply of sustainable and high-quality raw materials for OMV Group\u2019s recycling operations. OMV will process feedstock supplied from TOMRA Feedstock plants in its ReOil\u00ae plants in Austria, while Borealis will process feedstock produced by TOMRA at its mechanical recycling operations in Europe. &nbsp;The feedstock will be produced from mixed post-consumer plastic material otherwise lost to landfill and incineration at a first-of-its-kind sorting facility currently being developed by TOMRA in Germany. By contributing to the OMV Group\u2019s strategic targets of producing circular products and solutions, these agreements play a crucial role in closing the loop in plastics to accelerate the transition to a circular economy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TOMRA is a global leader in sensor-based sorting systems for metal and waste recycling and is currently building a sorting plant in Germany that will have an input capacity of 80,000 metric tons per annum and be operational at the end of 2025. TOMRA Feedstock has pioneered an innovative process that transforms pre-sorted mixed post-consumer plastic waste \u2013 materials that would otherwise end up in incineration \u2013 sorted into clean fractions of specific polymer types. These fractions can then be further processed in mechanical and chemical recycling plants such as those run by OMV and Borealis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OMV has signed a long-term contract for the supply by TOMRA Feedstock of chemical recycling feedstock. This feedstock will be used for OMV\u2019s self-developed and patented ReOil\u00ae technology for chemical recycling \u2013 thereby replacing virgin polyolefins. This will make a significant contribution to meeting recycling targets.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Daniela Vlad, OMV Executive Vice President Chemicals &amp; Materials:<\/strong>&nbsp;\u201cThis long-term supply agreement will provide feedstock for our ReOil\u00ae technology, which in turn will transform it into high-quality sustainable raw materials for plastics production.

With our technology, we have the ability to recover post-consumer plastics that would have otherwise been lost to incineration. This is valuable material that should be given at least a second life. We look forward to working with OMV and Borealis in making a big contribution toward closing the circularity gap for plastics.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>OMV operates a ReOil\u00ae pilot plant in Schwechat, Austria, and a new ReOil\u00ae plant with a capacity of 16,000 metric tons per year is currently under construction at the same site. Like the existing pilot plant, the new plant will have International Sustainability and Carbon certification (ISCC PLUS).
