    Borealis announces a EUR 49 million strategic investment to scale up production of Borstar\u00ae Nextension polypropylene (PP) at its manufacturing site in Burghausen, Germany. This will expand commercial production of next-generation single-site polypropylene (ssPP) grades that deliver enhanced purity, processability, and performance – supporting customers in key sectors including packaging, healthcare, mobility, and fibers, to meet evolving market and regulatory demands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Enabling the shift to circular design with monomaterials<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The investment will support the transition to high-performance monomaterial PP solutions. By integrating a tailored combination of performance properties into a single PP material, Borstar Nextension technology facilitates material substitution in complex multilayer structures \u2013 supporting design for circularity, reducing weight, and improving overall performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Meeting recyclability requirements<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    In packaging, this innovation enables brand owners and converters to comply with the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), including the target of achieving 100% recyclable packaging by 2030. A growing portfolio of Borstar Nextension PP grades is already demonstrating these benefits in flexible packaging applications, combining improved processability with superior sustainability and a step change in purity, clarity and sealing performance.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \u201cBy scaling up Borstar Nextension PP production, we empower our customers to stay ahead in a rapidly changing regulatory and market landscape. It\u2019s another example of our commitment to increase the availability of innovative, recyclable polymer materials suitable for a wide range of applications across multiple industries,\u201d says Craig Arnold, Borealis EVP Polyolefins, Circular Economy Solutions and Base Chemicals.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
