[**Borealis**](https://www.borealisgroup.com/?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io) **has revealed that its new, Beringen-based compounding line for recyclate-based polyolefins is now fully operational, allowing customers to co-develop and test the use of recycled plastics in their operations.**

The line will utilize Borealis’ proprietary Borcycle M mechanical recycling technology to combine post-consumer and virgin polyolefins into rigid polypropylene and polyethylene compounds. It is designed to process a range of recyclate flakes and meet the standards required in the consumer products, appliances, mobility, and energy sectors.

Additionally, the Beringen facility is upfronted as a ‘platform for collaboration’. Craig Arnold, executive vice president of Polyolefins, Base Chemicals and Circular Economy Solutions at Borealis, comments: “This installation is more than just a technological milestone – it’s a clear commitment to our customers.

“By expanding access to high-quality recyclate-based materials, we’re enabling our partners to accelerate their circular transformation.

“This approach is fully aligned with our [strategic ambition](https://www.borealisgroup.com/about-us/strategy?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io) to drive sustainable growth through innovation and collaboration.”

Borealis adds that the line complements its acquisitions of [Rialti](https://packagingeurope.com/news/borealis-anticipates-expanded-mechanically-recycled-plastic-compounding-capacity-in-closed-rialti-acquisition/10569.article?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io) and [Integra Plastics](https://packagingeurope.com/news/borealis-to-boost-recycling-capacity-with-integra-plastics-acquisition/10674.article?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io), each intended to expand its portfolio of compounds based on mechanical recyclates.

Samples of products made with recyclate-based polyolefins will be presented at Borealis’ booth (Hall 6, Stand A43) at [K 2025](https://www.k-online.com/?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io) in Düsseldorf from 8th – 15th October. The company will also distribute a [deposit-free reuse system](https://packagingeurope.com/news/borealis-debuts-reusable-cups-made-from-recycled-omv-feedstock-at-k-2025/12864.article?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io) for cups made from modified polypropylene for foam, manufactured using chemically recycled feedstock from [OMV](https://www.omv.com/en?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io)’s ReOil technology.

In other news, biotech company [Samsara Eco](https://www.samsaraeco.com/?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io) has opened an [enzymatic recycling technology plant](https://packagingeurope.com/news/samsara-eco-opens-first-plant-to-scale-low-carbon-circular-materials/13321.article?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io) in Jerrabomberra, Australia. It plans to upscale production of ‘virgin-identical, low-carbon’ circular materials like recycled nylon and polyester for packaging, among other applications.
