Borealis is a key partner in Project ELECTRO, an EU-funded consortium focused on electrified chemical recycling of hard-to-recycle plastics. The project seeks to transform mixed plastic waste into high-purity olefins like ethylene and propylene using renewable electricity, aiming for up to a 90% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.

Borealis contributes by optimizing pyrolysis oil for steam cracking and enhancing process performance. Additionally, Project ELECTRO connects with Project STOP to utilize household plastics from Indonesia, testing the viability of recycling challenging waste streams. The initiative combines scientific expertise with real-world applications to support circular economy goals.
