02 Sep 2019 --- Dow has partnered with Netherlands-based Feunix Ecogy Group to produce 100 percent circular plastic through chemical recycling. Dow will use Feunix Ecogy Group’s pyrolysis oil feedstock, which is made from plastic waste, to produce new polymers at Dow’s production facilities in Terneuzen, the Netherlands. This agreement marks an important step forward in increasing feedstock recycling – the process of breaking down mixed waste plastics into their original form to manufacture new virgin polymers. The polymers produced from this pyrolysis oil will be identical to products produced from traditional feedstocks, and as such, they can be used in the same applications, including food packaging and medical applications.
