The two corporations plan to build multiple 120 Kt facilities in Europe and other regions – collectively adding as much as 600 Kt of aggregate chemical recycling capacity by 2030.Dow’s role in the partnership is to become a key off-taker of circular feedstock that Mura produces. This circular feedstock, derived from plastic waste currently destined for landfill or incineration, reduces reliance on fossil-based feedstocks and will enable Dow to produce a recycled plastic feedstock for the development of new, virgin-grade plastics which are in high demand from global brands. By using chemical recycling as a complementary technology to mechanical recycling, Dow is making significant progress towards its sustainability, climate and plastic waste reduction targets.
Upsyde, a joint venture of Braskem and Terra Circular, is committed to making a tangible impact by upcycling mixed and hard-to-recycle plastic waste.
