Based on current plans, the project is expected to be one of the largest advanced recycling plants in Europe, with an initial capacity of 25,000 tonnes of plastic waste per year, and plans to scale up to 33,000 tonnes in the near future.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThis project with ExxonMobil is another important step toward a more circular economy for plastics,\u201d<\/em> said Carlos Monreal, founder and CEO of Plastic Energy. <em>\u201cPlastic Energy\u2019s aim is to continue to build recycling infrastructure in France, and globally, to increase recyclability of plastics.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Plastic Energy is a global leader in advanced recycling, specializing in recycling end-of-life plastics that would otherwise be destined for landfill, incineration or end up in the environment.

Plastic Energy currently operates two commercial plants in Spain and is one of the few companies worldwide that has sold millions of litres of recycled oil from the conversion of end-of-life plastic waste, to be used in the creation of new plastics. Plastic Energy is leading the way in its field in the transition to a low-carbon circular economy for plastics.<\/p>\n<p>Learn more on our <a href=\"https:\/\/plasticenergy.com\">website<\/a>, and follow us on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/plasticenergy\">Twitter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/plastic-energy\/\">Linkedin<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Press inquiries: <a href=\"mailto:press@plasticenergy.com\">press@plasticenergy.com<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;4238&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;75%&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221;&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":4238,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-4237","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-media"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/plasticenergy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4237","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/plasticenergy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/plasticenergy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plasticenergy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plasticenergy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4237"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/plasticenergy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4237\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4253,"href":"https:\/\/plasticenergy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4237\/revisions\/4253"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plasticenergy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4238"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/plasticenergy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4237"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plasticenergy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4237"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plasticenergy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4237"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
