TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE) has inaugurated
the extension of Synova in Normandy, the French leader in recycled
polypropylene production. TotalEnergies is therefore doubling its
mechanical recycling production capacity for recycled polymers, to
meet growing demand for sustainable polymers from customers, such
as Automotive Manufacturer (Auto OEM) and the construction
industry.
Moving the circular economy forward
Plastics are essential to everyday life because of their many
properties, including lightness, which allows the automotive
industry, for example, to reduce the weight of vehicles and hence
also fuel consumption and CO(2) emissions. But plastics'
end-of-life is a crucial topic, which is why TotalEnergies is
actively involved in plastics recycling as part of its circular
economy approach.
In order to increase its mechanical recycling capacity,
TotalEnergies acquired in 2019 Synova, the French leader in the
production of recycled polypropylene derived from industrial waste
plastics, household waste and car parts such as bumpers.
With the installation of two new production lines, Synova will
produce almost 45,000 tons of recycled polypropylene per year using
mechanical recycling methods, including one range containing fiber
glass to produce components with very high mechanical
performance.
Valérie Goff, Senior Vice President Polymers at TotalEnergies'
Refining & Chemicals business segment, stated: "After
announcing in 2020, at our zero-crude platform at Grandpuits, the
first chemical recycling plant and our second bio-based and
biodegradable plastic production plant, the Synova extension has
now doubled our mechanical recycling production capacity in France.
We are perfectly positioned to meet our customers' growing demand
for more efficient and environmentally friendly polymers, all the
while providing concrete answers to the challenge of managing
end-of-life plastics. This investment will contribute to our
ambition for 2030 of producing 30% recycled and renewable
polymers."
TotalEnergies and plastics recycling
TotalEnergies has the ambition of producing 30% recycled and
renewable polymers by 2030. TotalEnergies is working on all types
of recycling:
-- In mechanical recycling with its subsidiary Synova, the French leader in
the production of recycled polypropylene for sustainable applications for
the automotive or construction industry.
-- In chemical recycling, TotalEnergies announced in September 2020 the
construction of France's first chemical recycling plant on its Grandpuits
zero-crude platform. This new plant will use Plastic Energy's patented
technology to transform plastic waste that is not generally recyclable
into a pyrolysis oil called Tacoil, which will then be used as feedstock
in TotalEnergies' steam crackers to produce polymers with properties
identical to virgin polymers.
TotalEnergies is also a world leader in bioplastics. The joint
venture between TotalEnergies and Corbion owns a plant in Thailand
producing 75,000 tons/year of PLA, a 100% bio-based, recyclable and
biodegradable bioplastic. In September 2020, it announced the
construction of a second plant with a capacity of 100,000 tons/year
on the Grandpuits zero-crude platform in France.
TotalEnergies is also a founding member of the Alliance to End
Plastic Waste, which consists of around forty companies invested in
the plastics and consumer goods value chain. They have pledged to
allocate more than $1 billion, with a goal of reaching $1.5 billion
by 2025, to the implementation of solutions to eliminate plastic
waste in the environment, particularly in the oceans.
