[ Star Enterprise of Chemical Machinery and Equipment Network ] Ineos Olefin, Polymer Europe and Plastic Energy announced that they are conducting a trial to recycle "difficult-to-recycle waste plastics" (such as post-consumer flexible packaging) As a "food grade" plastic, it can be used for food packaging and other applications with high hygiene standards

Ineos Olefin and Polymer Europe's recycling plant in Scotland

Plan for trial production in Scotland in the first quarter of 2022

The two companies currently plan to conduct preliminary trials at Ineos' Grangemouth plant in Scotland in the first quarter of 2022
.
The factory is committed to becoming the first such factory in the UK
.

Chemical recycling creates a closed-loop system for plastic recycling, helping to reduce landfills, preventing plastics from eventually entering the environment directly, and reducing the use of petrochemical-derived raw materials
.
The recycling of "waste" plastics is another measure to reduce total carbon emissions
.

Ineos Olefin, Polymer Europe and Plastic Energy hope to jointly create a circular economy value chain in the chemical recycling field to use food-grade recycled ingredients in the new generation of product packaging
.

Waste plastics are used to make food-grade or medical-grade plastics after pyrolysis

　　According to reports, Plastic Energy uses its innovative recycling process to convert post-consumer plastics into liquid raw materials (called TACOIL) through a thermal cracking process for reuse in the next generation of plastic production
.
TACOIL is used as a substitute for fossil-derived materials to make food-grade or medical-grade plastics
.

　　The trial will be conducted in Grangemouth in cooperation with Petroineos
.
Petroineos will use its existing refinery business to process TACOIL supplied by Plastic Energy
.
Plastic Energy already operates two recycling plants in Spain
.

　　Plastic Energy’s technology can improve the recyclability of demanding labeling and packaging applications, such as chocolate bars, snacks and biscuits, pets and dry foods
.
The new project is a supplement to the existing mechanical recycling of plastics in the INEOS Recycl-IN series of products
.

　　Petroineos will supply INEOS Olefin and Polymer Europe with recycled raw materials, which can be converted into certified recycled plastics with performance comparable to traditional petroleum-based plastics
.

　　In this project, Ineos, Plastic Energy and Petroineos have achieved technological complementarity, preparing for sustainable innovation to achieve large-scale applications
.
