SABIC alliance moves on circular polymers
SABIC announced that it is joining with three customers – consumer goods giant Unilever, wine closure maker Vinven- tions and packaging group Walki – to introduce International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC)-certified circular polymers this year. The materials will be made using Tacoil, a feedstock from
UK-based Plastic Energy derived from recycling of mixed plastic waste, and processed at SABIC’s site at Geleen in the Netherlands. The move is part of SABIC and Plastic Energy’s recently announced plan to build the first commercial plants to manufacture and process the feedstock. “As a disruptive innovation, the introduction of the
certified circular polymers in 2019 will create a new value chain, where SABIC, its upstream supplier and key down- stream customers work side-by-side to upcycle mixed plastic waste,” the company said. �
