BlueAlp, Renewi, Shell, and Utrecht University Receive €1.5 Million for Project CLEAN in Chemical Recycling
The Dutch Government has awarded €1.5 million to BlueAlp, Renewi, Shell, and Utrecht University for Project CLEAN, a four-year initiative aimed at improving chemical recycling of flexible plastics. The project employs BlueAlp's thermal pyrolysis technology to process polyolefin films for chemical production, with goals of replacing fossil feedstocks and increasing oil purity.
The consortium will leverage each partner's expertise: Renewi in sorting and densifying plastics, Shell in pyrolysis oil conversion, and Utrecht University in materials development. The subsidy comes from the National Growth Fund via Circular Plastics NL. Project CLEAN seeks to create a cost-effective method for purifying mixed plastic waste and promoting circular plastic products.
