Borouge International expands mechanical recycling capacity in Europe
Borouge International announced investments to expand its European mechanical recycling capacity at its sites in Niedergebra, Germany, and Wildon, Austria. The expansion strengthens the Group’s 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.
Borouge International Niedergebra
Formerly mtm plastics, Borouge International Niedergebra’s output of recycled mixed polyolefin (rPO) materials will increase by approximately 9 kilotons. 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.
Borouge International Wildon
At Borouge International Wildon, formerly Ecoplast, annual recycled polyethylene (rPE) output will increase by up to 5 kilotons.
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.
Borouge International Elin Pelin
Borouge International Elin Pelin in Bulgaria, a facility which produces more than 20 kilotons of premium-quality grades of post-consumer recycled polypropylene (rPP) annually, completes Borouge International’s European mechanical recycling portfolio and complements capabilities across flexible PE, rigid PP and mixed polyolefin streams.
Serving customers in Europe and beyond
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 plant in Indiana, US and in Asia, Borouge International collaborates with a wide portfolio of suppliers for recycled material.
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.
