Neste and Tepsa have collaborated to enhance chemical recycling capabilities on the storage and handling of liquefied waste plastics in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Following successful industrial-scale processing runs, Neste is moving towards using larger quantities of liquefied waste plastic as a raw material at its Porvoo refinery in Finland, turning it into Neste RE, a high-quality recycled drop-in feedstock for the production of new plastics and chemicals. The aggregation tanks will be located in the Port of Rotterdam, and will optimise supply chains and streamline logistics.
Andreas Teir, head of chemical recycling at Neste says: ‘The new aggregation tanks in Rotterdam enabling cutting-edge logistics are crucial in optimising our supply chain and in reaching our ambitious goals of processing liquefied waste plastic. We are expanding our network of suppliers for liquefied waste plastics and the new storage significantly enhances our offtake flexibility.’
Bruno Hayem, CEO of Tepsa, adds: ‘This new collaboration marks a significant advancement in our long-term commitment to sustainability and the energy transition. In the second half of 2025, we will begin stocking liquefied waste plastic, diversifying our product portfolio and reinforcing our leadership in the storage of more sustainable, low-carbon products. Building on our existing collaboration with Neste, this partnership supports our strategy to broaden our service offering and to support Neste in paving the way for a more sustainable and circular economy.’
