TOMRA signed long-term recycling feedstock supply agreements with OMV and Borealis. TOMRA will provide a consistent supply of high-quality raw materials for OMV and Borealis to carry out mechanical and chemical recycling.

The feedstock will be produced by TOMRA at a first-of-its-kind sorting facility, which is currently being built in Germany. This facility 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 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.

OMV will process feedstock supplied from TOMRA Feedstock plants in its ReOil plants in Austria, while Borealis will process TOMRA feedstock at its mechanical recycling operations in Europe using Borcycle M technology, which transforms polyolefin-based post-consumer waste into high-performance polymers.

“This agreement shows what’s possible when key players in the value chain come together to make a truly significant impact in the market. With our technology, we have the ability to recover post-consumer plastics that would have otherwise been lost to incineration,” said Volker Rehrmann, Executive Vice President and Head of TOMRA Recycling.
