Borealis launches portfolio of circular plastomers and elastomers based on renewable feedstock, said the company.
Recent years have seen a steady increase in the demand for high-performance plastomers and elastomers that combine the physical properties of rubber with the processing advantages of a thermoplastic material. This trend has been accompanied by a growing urgency in the demand for sustainable solutions that offer the same material performance but with circular content and a reduced carbon footprint.
Borealis’ production location in Geleen, the Netherlands, is the production site for Queo™, Borealis’ range of high-performance polyolefin plastomers and elastomers. In March 2023, the facility received the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC PLUS), thus enabling Borealis to introduce a new product line to meet customer demand for circular solutions: the Bornewables line of Queo.
Produced with ISCC PLUS–certified renewable feedstock, the new line represents an expansion of the Bornewables portfolio of circular polyolefin products, which offer the same material performance as fossil-based polyolefins, yet decoupled from fossil-based feedstock and with reduced carbon emissions.
We remind, Borealis, one of the world’s leading providers of advanced and sustainable polyolefins solutions and a European front-runner in polyolefins recycling and Axpo, Switzerland’s largest producer of renewable energy and an international leader in the trading and marketing of solar and wind power, have signed their second power purchase agreement (PPA) in six months.
