18 Jul 2024 --- Green Dot is supplying pyrolysis oil to Shell Chemicals Europe for circular plastic polymers. Shell Chemicals Europe will upgrade the pyrolysis oil to remove impurities and use the new cleaner feedstock to produce circular chemicals that can be further processed into circular polymers for use in plastics. The polymers can be used to make contact sensitive plastic packaging, which is designed for various contexts such as animal nutrition, food contact, medical devices and cosmetic products. ”We are very happy to have supplied Pyrolysis Oil to Shell Chemicals Europe, which will help upgrade these pyrolysis oils and further develop the needed capacities in Europe for circular polymers. Only a few years are left for the first recycled content targets for polyolefin packaging that must be met,” says Mark Vester, Green Dot’s advanced recycling managing director.
