PARIS & LONDON – (COMMERCIAL THREAD) – Regulatory news:

Plastic Energy and TotalEnergies (Paris: TTE) (LSE: TTE) (NYSE: TTE) have announced a new agreement to promote the development of advanced plastic recycling. As part of the deal, Plastic Energy plans to build a second state-of-the-art recycling plant in Seville, Spain, in addition to its existing operational plant, which will transform end-of-life plastic waste into a recycled raw material called TACOIL in using Plastic Energy’s patented recycling technology. TotalEnergies will transform this raw material into virgin quality polymers, which can be used for food grade packaging.

The plant will process and convert 33,000 tonnes of end-of-life post-consumer plastic waste annually, which would otherwise go to landfill or incineration. The plant is expected to become operational in early 2025, with TACOIL to be used for the manufacture of high-quality polymers in TotalEnergies ‘European production units, following a successful processing experiment on TotalEnergies’ petrochemical platform. in Antwerp. With identical properties to virgin polymers, recycled polymers will be suitable for use in food grade applications, such as flexible and rigid food packaging containers.

Plastic Energy and TotalEnergies are both firmly committed to developing plastics recycling to address the issue of plastic waste, and to build a circular economy in Europe and around the world. In accordance with this commitment, TotalEnergies and Plastic Energy announced in September 2020 a joint venture to build a plastic waste conversion plant with a capacity of 15,000 tonnes per year on the zero gross platform of TotalEnergies Grandpuits in France. The project should be operational in 2023.

Additionally, Plastic Energy, Freepoint Eco-Systems and TotalEnergies announced a strategic partnership in October 2021 for a similar recycling plant in Texas, United States. This plant, which is a joint venture between Plastic Energy and Freepoint Eco-systems, will have the capacity to recycle 33,000 tonnes of plastic waste per year, and should be operational by mid-2024. Under the terms of the agreement, TACOIL will be converted by TotalEnergies in its production units based in Texas.

“I am happy to announce a new plastic energy plant in Spain and a new collaboration agreement with our partner, TotalEnergies” noted Carlos Monreal, Founder and CEO of Plastic Energy. “This new large-scale recycling plant will be a powerful addition to our existing portfolio of operational plants in Spain and will increase the amount of end-of-life plastics we can recycle in Europe. “

“This new project with Plastic Energy in Spain follows on from two collaboration projects already announced in France and the United States. These projects help meet the challenge of the circular economy and our ambition to produce 30% recycled and renewable polymers by 2030. noted Valérie Goff, Deputy Managing Director of Polymers at TotalEnergies.
