Freepoint Eco-Systems International and Source One have announced a long-term collaboration aimed at developing pretreatment facilities for the recycling of plastic waste.<\/p>\n

This partnership is set to enhance the pyrolysis infrastructure across Europe by treating various waste streams, including post-consumer waste (PCR).<\/p>\n

As part of the agreement, Freepoint Eco-Systems intends to establish a network of pretreatment facilities in strategic European locations.<\/p>\n

Source One will serve as the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor for these installations.<\/p>\n

The facilities will be used to convert mixed plastic waste into quality feedstock that can be utilised in recycling processes.<\/p>\n

Source One has created a pretreatment concept that has been validated through commercial-scale operations.<\/p>\n

This concept is capable of producing feedstock that meets the specifications required for pyrolysis, as well as mechanical processing.<\/p>\n

It has been engineered to manage complex waste streams such as mixed plastic packaging and flexible films while minimising energy consumption and environmental impact.<\/p>\n

Source One founder and CEO Kai Hoyer said: \u201cTogether, we\u2019re advancing the circular economy by leveraging cutting-edge recycling technologies and accelerating the high-quality recovery and reuse of plastics.\u201d<\/p>\n

Freepoint Eco-Systems Recycling Europe CCO Jacco de Haas said: \u201cThis collaboration marks the beginning of a strategic partnership focused on unlocking the value of plastic waste.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy combining our feedstock strategy with Source One\u2019s best-in-class pretreatment platform, we are building critical infrastructure that enables pyrolysis to scale commercially and competitively.\u201d<\/p>\n

The agreement will also align with European regulatory frameworks, including the Green Deal, the Circular Economy Action Plan, and the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation.<\/p>\n

These regulations promote the increased utilisation of recycled materials in plastic packaging.<\/p>\n

In July 2024, Freepoint Eco-Systems announced a collaboration<\/a> with Turkish waste management company Biotrend to create advanced recycling initiatives aimed at diverting end-of-life plastic waste from landfills and incineration.<\/p>\n
