Borealis and the Reclay Group, international experts in environmental and material recovery management, announce that they have joined forces to satisfy increasing market demand for the supply of recyclate material for use in high-end plastic applications.

The partnership will optimize the recycling value chain starting with Germany and will further accelerate the transition to plastics circularity by enabling customers and other value chain partners to meet their own sustainability targets.

The plastic packaging waste will be processed at Borealis’ own recycling plants.

The new agreement provides Borealis with access to a secure and steady supply of feedstock in the form of lightweight packaging waste collected by Reclay’s Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) scheme in Germany.

The plastic packaging waste is then processed at Borealis’ own state-of-the-art recycling plants, thus extending the range of applications for which recycled plastics can be used. This, in turn, enables value chain partners, customers, and brand owners to meet recycling quotas and increase the volume of plastic recyclate used in products and applications.

The partnership secures plastic waste from Reclay for Borealis to convert and revalorize in high-quality recyclate materials.

“Working together with the Reclay Group is a strategic step towards value chain integration in securing plastic waste feedstock and improving recyclability,” stated Lucrèce Foufopoulos, Borealis Executive Vice President Polyolefins, Innovation & Technology and Circular Economy Solutions. “This will enable our customers and partners to achieve their circularity goals and reduce their overall carbon footprint, and at the same time underpins our Borealis journey towards more sustainable living.”

"We are proud to be working in partnership with an innovative and globally recognised company in the chemical industry moving into the future," added Raffael A. Fruscio, Owner and Managing Director of the Reclay Group. "Borealis has state-of-the-art processes in the field of advanced recycling; we’ll jointly be setting a new standard in plastic recycling."
