What is the capacity and primary purpose of the recycling facility Ineos is developing with Recuro in Norway?

The facility will process up to 33,000 metric tons of end-of-life plastic waste per year and is designed to produce recycled feedstocks—specifically recycled ethylene—to enable Ineos’ Bamble plant to manufacture virgin-quality recycled polyethylene that meets EU regulatory requirements for sensitive applications like food and medical packaging.

How does the 'Full Circle' initiative aim to balance environmental and economic goals?

The 'Full Circle' initiative combines environmental responsibility with economic viability by leveraging existing industrial infrastructure, land, and services at Ineos’ Bamble polymer site—reducing both capital costs and overall environmental footprint—while using renewable energy and pyrolysis technology to maximize carbon recovery from plastic waste without diverting outputs to energy generation.
