With a contract to build an innovative SynCycle plant, the Styrian plant manufacturer BDI-BioEnergy International (BDI) is taking on an important key role in the sustainable transformation of the plastics industry.
The project constitutes an important milestone for BDI, as it is the first reference plant on an industrial scale to use SynCycle technology.
BDI offers an efficient solution for the chemical recycling of plastic waste with its innovative SynCycle technology.
The plant isolates polyolefin plastics from waste streams and converts them to pyrolysis oil. This technology makes it possible to convert plastic waste that would otherwise be incinerated or landfilled, into valuable intermediate products for the chemical industry.
The feedstock pre-treatment and other parts of the deliveries are executed with BDI’s partner HydroDyn Recycling and Next Generation Recycling GmbH (NGR).
“With this project, BDI demonstrates its leading role in developing environmentally friendly technologies and strengthens its position as a pioneer in the bioenergy and recycling industry. The SynCycle plant is not only a technical breakthrough, but also an important step towards a more sustainable and recycling-oriented economy,” said Manfred Baumgartner and David Niederl, managing directors at BDI.
“GREENERTIS, whose main investor is the Portuguese industrial group SONAE Capital Industrials, is materializing a clear commitment to the Circular Economy and Sustainability with the development of Tarragona Plant. Starting in Q3 2025, this Plant will produce 36.000 Mt of Circular-Oil® by recycling 50.000 Mt of complex plastic waste annually. This is the first step in GREENERTIS’ ambitious plan to establish several sites across Europe in the coming years,” added Josep Maria Calderó, CEO of GREENERTIS.
