Borouge International today announced investments to expand its European mechanical recycling capacity at its sites in Niedergebra, Germany, and Wildon, Austria.The expansion strengthens Borouge International\u2019s ability to meet growing customer demand for mechanically recycled polyolefins produced in Europe. It also supports customers in securing more reliable access to circular materials driven by brand preference, evolving regulatory requirements such as the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), and supply resilience needs.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Borouge International Niedergebra<\/strong>, formerly mtm plastics, annual output of recycled mixed polyolefin (rPO) materials will increase by close to 9 kilotonnes.The facility transforms post-consumer mixed polyolefin waste into valuable recycled materials for a broad range of rigid applications. The additional capacity is expected to become operational in the first quarter of 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Borouge International Wildon<\/strong>, formerly Ecoplast, annual recycled polyethylene (rPE) output will increase by up to 5 kilotonnes. The additional capacity is expected to come on stream in the fourth quarter of 2027 and will support growing demand for recycled materials, particularly for flexible packaging applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Borouge International Elin Pelin <\/strong>in Bulgaria, a facility which produces more than 20 kilotonnes of premium-quality grades of post-consumer recycled polypropylene (rPP) annually, completes Borouge International\u2019s European mechanical recycling portfolio and complements capabilities across flexible PE, rigid PP and mixed polyolefin streams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Borouge International serves its customers with circular solutions in Europe and beyond. In North America, top quality PE film grades are supplied from the Syndigo\u2122 plant in Indiana, US and in Asia, Borouge International collaborates with a wide portfolio of suppliers for recycled material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cCircular materials are a strategic resource for Europe and around the world, not only to meet sustainability and regulatory requirements, but also to strengthen industrial competitiveness, brand differentiation and supply resilience,\u201d said Dirk Langhammer, Senior Vice President Circular Solutions, Borouge International<\/strong>. \u201cThe investments in our European recycling platform give an even larger range of customers more reliable access to circular polyolefin solutions, from premium Borcycle\u2122grades to fit-for-purpose Recleo\u2122 materials tailored to diverse applications.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

With these investments, Borouge International continues to scale circular solutions globally, supporting customers with more reliable access to recycled polyolefins for a more competitive and resilient materials value chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
