Sweden-based plastic fabrication company Nexam Chemical has announced the commercial breakthrough of its Reactive Recycling technology with two major customers.<\/p>\n

This development has led to a steady run-rate of deliveries, with an annualised turnover of Skr15m ($1.5m), indicating strong potential for further growth.<\/p>\n

The adoption of Reactive Recycling by Nexam customers is a shift from initial trials to long-term, commercial-scale operations.<\/p>\n

The technology offers benefits in packaging and industrial applications, including the production of flexible packaging films, rigid containers and durable industrial components with high recycled content.<\/p>\n

For the flexible packaging and film sector, Reactive Recycling ensures stable production with cost-effective raw materials, without compromising on quality.<\/p>\n

In the realm of rigid packaging, the technology enhances the melt strength and toughness of recycled polypropylene (rPP), high-density polyethylene (rHDPE), and polyethylene terephthalate (rPET), facilitating the manufacture of bottles and containers with significantly higher recycled content.<\/p>\n

It also improves the durability and impact resistance of industrial components made from recycled plastics, enabling them to replace virgin materials in broader applications.<\/p>\n

Nexam Chemical CEO Ronnie T\u00f6rnqvist stated: \u201cWhen we announce a major customer, it is because we know the business has the potential to scale and last. These run-rate numbers confirm that Reactive Recycling is not just a concept, but a proven solution delivering real value to customers who need stronger, more reliable recycled plastics at scale \u2013 often also generating considerable savings.\u201d<\/p>\n

The initial growth driven by these two accounts is noteworthy, as it represents flose to 10% of Nexam\u2019s total sales.<\/p>\n

In June 2025, Nexam Chemical announced that an undisclosed customer<\/a> for its Reactive Recycling technology had commenced full commercial production.<\/p>\n
