Borcycle™ post-consumer recycled (PCR) solutions: Value-added solutions with enhanced sustainability

Borealis is helping its automotive partners raise the share of recycled plastics in vehicles by developing innovative polyolefin-based solutions that are composed of both virgin and increased post-consumer recyclate (PCR) content levels.

Borealis was one of the first virgin polyolefin suppliers to launch under its Daplen™ brand a range of dedicated polypropylene (PP) compound solutions which included PCR for use in automotive applications. The trusted Daplen portfolio, which includes three proven high-quality compounds developed in Europe, has now been rebranded as Borcycle™ ME2220SY, Borcycle™ MD2550SY and Borcycle™ MD3230SY. Underscoring our global supply capacity, Borealis Brasil also launched three additional grades for the South American market: Borcycle™ MG1490SYB, Borcycle™ MG2690SYB and Borcycle™ MG4490SYB.

Borealis’ customers and partners can rely on the availability of ready-made, high-end grades that deliver key advantages:

• Delivers performance equivalent to 100%-virgin PP grades
• Full support from Borealis technical service and modelling and simulation teams to bring these grades into serial production, substituting virgin PP grades
• Offers ready availability at consistent high quality, thus allowing for high volume production
• Supports OEMs in achieving their sustainability goals through the use of PCR in automotive parts
