In this way, the company aims to drive forward the circular economy.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>ISCC-certified recycled polymers<\/strong> are produced using pyrolysis oil, which is obtained from mixed plastic waste. This is planned, <strong>the alternative raw material<\/strong> in future at the Chemelot plant in Geleen (Netherlands).<\/p>\n<p>The processing technology used by Sabic converts mixed plastic waste back into<strong> Original polymers for quality applications<\/strong>. This contributes to the cycle of recycling natural resources. Although mechanical recycling processes also contribute to the circular economy, the economically recyclable quantities of plastic packaging waste are limited. The certified process, on the other hand, reintroduces <strong>to as-new polymers<\/strong> and thus represents a real alternative to mechanical methods, closing the recycling loop.<\/p><div class=\"packa-in-post-alle\" style=\"text-align: center;\" id=\"packa-1636340219\"><div id=\"packa-1789357329\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/newsletter\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"PJ Self-promotion English 03\"><!--noptimize--><img src=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03.png 840w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-300x75.png 300w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-768x192.png 768w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-18x5.png 18w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-332x83.png 332w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-664x166.png 664w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-688x172.png 688w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" width=\"840\" height=\"210\"  style=\" max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" \/><!--\/noptimize--><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<blockquote><p>\u201eTo make the transition from a linear to a circular economy while meeting the needs of our customers and consumers, the value of plastics in waste streams must be preserved and maximised.
