What is the 'Full Circle' project, and where is it being built?

The 'Full Circle' project is a planned advanced plastic recycling facility to be developed by Ineos and Recuro at Ineos's polymer site in Bamble, Norway. It is designed to process 33,000 tonnes of waste plastic annually using pyrolysis technology.

How does the 'Full Circle' facility differ from conventional plastic waste treatment methods like incineration?

Unlike traditional incineration, the 'Full Circle' facility uses pyrolysis — a thermal decomposition process in an oxygen-free environment — to break down plastic waste into oil, gas, and char, and fully retains and recycles the oil and gas components instead of burning them for energy, thereby maximizing carbon recovery from plastic waste.

Ineos and Recuro Partner to Build Plastic Recycling Facility in Norway

Jul 14, 2026

Ineos and Recuro signed an MoU to construct a 33,000-ton/year plastic recycling facility in Norway utilizing pyrolysis technology. The project integrates recycled feedstock into ethylene production for high-grade food and medical packaging.
