Italy – Ineos has recently opened its new advanced polymer pilot plant in Rosignano, Italy. This plant will help to develop and produce advanced products which will incorporate plastic waste diverted away from landfill or incineration. One example of the many products it will develop will include light weight car parts.

The plant supports a more sustainable and circular approach to polymer production, saving CO2 as well as directing plastic waste from landfill back into valuable polymer products. The new plant is part of the firm’s global 110-million-dollar research and development programme, which supports Ineos customers globally.

Specialist Book „Heat Transfer Technique“The comprehensive standard work „Heat Transfer Technique“ offers not only a detailed and well-founded presentation of the basics of heat transfer technique, but also shows the latest state of the art and the latest regulations in the use of organic fluids. Thematically, the book is rounded off with an overview of property data of organic heat transfer fluids as well as many use cases from practical experience.

Dr. Gerd Franken Chairman of Ineos Olefins & Polymers Europe and Chairman of Ineos Polyolefins Catalyst said: “This pilot plant will help to use more and more plastic waste for new high value polymers which is the very core of the circular economy. It demonstrates the company’s commitment to develop this technology to full commercial scale.” Dr. Iain Hogan CEO Ineos Olefins & Polymers South said: “I would like to thank those that have supported this key R&D project from the beginning, across regional and local authorities. This is an important investment in the Rosignano site and for the whole of Ineos O&P.”

Earlier this month Ineos Olefins & Polymers also announced the introduction of the Recycl-IN polymer range to its portfolio. The range contains up to 50 % Post-Consumer Recycled plastic compounded with new highly engineered virgin polymers.
