Neste backs feedstock recycling
Finland’s Neste has joined UK-based chemical recycling company ReNew ELP and Australian technology developer Licella in a development project to explore the poten- tial of using mixed waste plastic as a raw material for fuels, chemicals and plastics. As part of the project, the partners will study the feasibility and sustainability of liquefied waste plastic as a refinery raw material and will also work for regulatory acceptance of chemical recycling. Neste said it aims to process over 1m tonnes/year of waste plastic by 2030. ReNew ELP is separately beginning

construction of a chemical recycling plant in Teesside, UK, which will use Licella’s Cat- HTRTM catalytic hydrothermal liquefaction platform to produce raw materials for multiple petrochemical products from post-consumer plastics. This will be the first plant to use the technology at commercial scale and is co-financed by energy invest- ment firm Armstrong Energy. Neste is already working with Ikea to develop a bio-based PP. A commercial-scale facility is expected to open this autumn using waste fats and oils as raw materials. �
