Bio-based materials keep water flowing with a lower carbon footprint

Plastic pipe systems are essential for delivering safe, high-quality drinking water, reliably and at scale. The materials used in these systems need to combine strong mechanical performance with high purity and be efficient to process. Increasingly, they are also expected to be more sustainable.

At Borouge International, we’re supporting this transition by replacing 10% of the fossil-based feedstock in our established polypropylene (PP) grade BA160E-8229-01 with a bio-based alternative and launching the product as part of the Bornewables™ portfolio.

Established in 2026, Borouge International brings together Borouge, Borealis and NOVA Chemicals Corporation into a global polyolefins platform with complementary regional strengths, advanced technology capabilities and the scale to serve customers across key growth markets.
