LONDON (ICIS)–Freepoint Eco-Systems Belgium NV is planning to build an 80,000 tonne/year pyrolysis-based chemical recycling plant in Ghent, Belgium, the company announced in a press release.
The plant will use mixed plastic waste diverted from incineration as an input, although there were no further details of the grade of mixed plastic waste that will be used. It will be situated at North Sea Port’s Kluizendok site, following the signing of a long-term concession agreement between the two companies for the development.
Construction on the site will not begin until the permitting process is completed, which is expected in 2025. Freepoint Eco-Systems is currently engaged in feedstock sourcing and financial planning for the site.
The plot at North Sea Port is large enough to potentially expand the capacity to 160,000 tonnes/year.
