♻️ Innovative Integrated Plastic Waste Recycling Hub in Germany! 🇩🇪 LyondellBasell has secured a location for an innovative plastic waste recycling hub in Knapsack, Germany. This landmark project marks a significant step towards addressing the plastic waste challenge and promoting the circular economy. The state-of-the-art facility, covering an area equivalent to 20 soccer fields, will feature advanced sorting and recycling operations to process mixed plastic waste. This waste, which is currently incinerated, will now be transformed into valuable feedstock for recycling. 🚀 The initial phase of the project set to commence operations in early 2026 will focus on the advanced sorting facility. This initiative supports LyondellBasell’s ambition to produce and market at least 2 million metric tons of recycled and renewable-based polymers annually by 2030. Located near LyondellBasell’s world-scale facilities in Wesseling, the hub will integrate various recycling technologies, fostering synergies with existing facilities in Geleen, Netherlands, and Knapsack. This strategic location enhances the company’s ability to offer a wide range of recycled and renewable products and marks another step towards a true circular economy. 🙌 #circulareconomy #recycling #plasticsindustry #ktradefair
