Espoo/Finland – Neste enhances its chemical recycling capabilities by collaborating with Tepsa Netherlands on the storage and handling of liquefied waste plastic in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. This partnership, focused on the implementation of advanced aggregation tanks, underscores the company's commitment to expanding its liquefied waste plastic processing capabilities and advancing the circular economy. Following successful industrial-scale processing runs, Neste is moving towards using larger quantities of liquefied waste plastic as a raw material at its Porvoo refinery in Finland and turning it into Neste RE, a high-quality recycled drop-in feedstock for the production of new plastics and chemicals.

The aggregation tanks will be located in the Port of Rotterdam to optimize supply chains and streamline logistics. As Neste is securing liquefied waste plastic supply through various suppliers across Europe, this central and major logistics hub offers seamless connectivity to the continent's expansive infrastructure. The state-of-the-art tank solution and surrounding infrastructure will ensure safe and reliable storage of liquefied waste plastic. The preparation and installation of the tanks have been meticulously planned demonstrating both companies' commitment to safety and excellence. The tanks are expected to be operational in the second half of 2025, matching the schedule for the ongoing construction of capacity upgrading facilities for liquefied waste plastic in Porvoo.
