Freepoint Eco-Systems International Ltd (Freepoint Eco-Systems) and Source One GmbH (Source One) have agreed to enter into a long-term collaboration agreement to develop multiple pretreatment facilities to treat plastic waste streams, such as post-consumer waste (PCR), to support the growth of pyrolysis infrastructure across Europe.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the agreement, Freepoint Eco-Systems plans to build a network of pretreatment installations in key European markets, with Source One acting as the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contractor. These facilities will convert mixed plastic waste into high-quality feedstock suitable for both advanced and mechanical recycling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Source One has developed a unique, high-standard pretreatment concept that has already been proven in commercial-scale operation to be capable of producing feedstock that meets the requirements of both pyrolysis and mechanical processing. Designed to handle complex waste streams, such as mixed plastic packaging and flexible films, the system reduces energy use and environmental impact and sets a new benchmark for quality, operational efficiency, and compliance with evolving regulatory expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThis collaboration marks the beginning of a strategic partnership focused on unlocking the value of plastic waste,\u201d said Jacco de Haas, Chief Commercial Officer, Recycling Europe, at Freepoint Eco-Systems<\/strong>. \u201cBy combining our feedstock strategy with Source One\u2019s best-in-class pretreatment platform, we are building critical infrastructure that enables pyrolysis to scale commercially and competitively.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The planned cooperation agreement aligns with Freepoint Eco-Systems\u2019 broader ambition to become a leading supplier of feedstock for advanced recycling in Europe. Material from these facilities will supply Freepoint Eco-Systems\u2019 own pyrolysis plants and support other upcycling initiatives across the continent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cPartnering with Freepoint Eco-Systems provides the crucial capacity needed to make resource-efficient plastic use reality across Europe,\u201d says Kai Hoyer, founder and CEO of Source One GmbH.<\/strong> \u201cTogether, we\u2019re advancing the circular economy by leveraging cutting-edge recycling technologies and accelerating the high-quality recovery and reuse of plastics.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Agreement establishes a foundation for infrastructure aligned with European regulatory drivers, including the Green Deal, the Circular Economy Action Plan, and the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), which mandate the increased use of recycled content in plastic packaging. By addressing a key bottleneck in the plastic value chain, the collaboration between Freepoint Eco-Systems and Source One aims to strengthen material recovery while enabling the responsible use of plastic resources across Europe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
