Cooperation with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation (EMF)

In 2016, Borealis became the first major polyolefin producer to have signed the EMF Global Commitment and became a core partner of the initiative in 2019. Under this framework Borealis pledged to sell 350 metric tons of post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic per year by 2025. The initiative is uniting key stakeholders – including citizens, NGOs, academia, governments, philanthropists, municipalities, and companies – behind one common vision: to eliminate unnecessary and problematic plastics; to innovate in order to create the plastics that society does need, and ensuring that these are reusable, recyclable or compostable; and to circulate plastics, thereby keeping them in the economy, and out of natural environments.
