Neste, Borealis and Covestro have signed a project agreement to enable the recycling of used tyres into plastics for automotive applications. In order to “drive circularity in plastics value chains”, when no longer fit for use, the process sees tyre liquefied by means of chemical recycling and then processed into base chemicals and further into polycarbonates of high purity. Applications include parts from headlamps to radiator grilles.
