As part of the agreement, Berry will receive ISCC Plus certified circular polyolefins from Repsol’s Reciclex range.
Under ISCC PLUS certification, Repsol’s petrochemical complexes are certified to manufacture circular polyolefins.
Repsol Polyolefins business unit director Rafael Jiménez said: ““At Repsol, we are continuously working on different alternatives to offer our clients materials with recycled content that meet the different demands for their specific markets, especially those for high added value applications.
“With this recent alliance with Berry, we also reinforce our ambition to recycle the equivalent of 20% of our polyolefins production.”
The latest agreement complements Berry’s and Repsol’s list of initiatives to enhance the circular economy of application that requires hygiene and safety.
