09 Jan 2024 --- Neste completed another series of tests processing liquefied plastic waste at its refinery in Porvoo, Finland, expanding its chemical recycling efforts. The test runs carried out in the second half of 2023 led to a doubled amount of liquefied plastic waste processed by Neste to more than 6,000 metric tons. In the largest test run of the year, more than 2,000 metric tons of liquefied plastic waste were processed “for the first time.” Neste highlights that the converted product is an ISCC Plus-certified, high-quality raw material for plastic production. The tests are part of the Pulse project, an initiative aiming to process 450,000 metric tons annually by mid 2025, for which Neste has invested €111M (US$121 million).
