[**Neste**](https://www.neste.com/en?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io) **has announced Neste RE - a new recycled, bio-based feedstock that is compatible with existing polymer and chemical production infrastructures.**

The company hopes that its new product will help to reduce the need for virgin fossil resources, while also providing a new solution to the end-of-life related challenges the polymers and chemicals industries are facing today.

Neste RE can be used in a range of plastics applications, from packaging to toys, as well as sensitive applications such as high-performing medical equipment. According to the company, its new solution makes it possible to use bio-based waste and residues and waste plastic in the manufacture of high-quality products.

Lars Börger, vice president of renewable polymers and chemicals at Neste, says: “We need to take drastic action to achieve the necessary change towards a circular economy in materials. With Neste RE, we combine the best of renewable and recycled materials, to serve as a sustainable feedstock alternative for the polymers and chemicals sectors.

“This new product provides a new solution for the industry to close the circle of material flows. Neste RE is available globally, and together with like-minded partners, we can use Neste RE as a tool to change and revolutionize plastics.”

Neste is marketing its new solution as both renewable and recycled: the product’s renewable components can be produced from waste and residue oils and fats and sustainably-produced vegetable oils.

The recycled component is produced from chemically-recycled plastic waste that cannot be recycled mechanically, such as coloured, multilayer, or multi-material packaging.
