Borouge International announces the global launch of #Borcycle™ GE2331SY, a new high-performance, recycled #polypropylene (PP) compound designed for demanding structural automotive components. The material is a finalist in the #PlasticsRecyclingAwards Europe (PRAE) 2026, reflecting its role in supporting a more sustainable, low-carbon future for #mobility.

Established in March 2026 by XRG – ADNOC’s international investment arm – and OMV, Borouge International is a leading global polyolefins producer that designs and manufactures essential materials for modern life. The company brings together Borouge plc, #BorealisGmbH and #NOVAChemicals Corporation – three regionally strong, operationally distinct businesses into a single global platform.


Borcycle GE2331SY, is another example of Borouge International’s commitment to delivering materials that enable greater efficiency, durability, and circularity across critical applications—the #glassfiberreinforced compound combines 40% post-consumer recycled material with 20% glass fibers to deliver the strength required for interior structural parts. It is already being used by several original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) for high-end structural automotive components, including center console carriers and dashboard carriers, demonstrating its suitability for premium applications.


The compound forms part of the Borcycle M portfolio of high-performance mechanically recycled polyolefin solutions, designed to support reduced carbon emissions and increased recycled content across value chains.

The automotive industry is striving to reduce its environmental footprint, and as a trusted partner, we are helping to make that possible.


Borcycle demonstrates that recycled content and high performance can go hand in hand. By enabling automakers to integrate circular materials into their vehicles, we can advance sustainable mobility on a global scale.”

The selection of Borcycle GE2331SY as a finalist in the Automotive, Electrical or Electronic Product of the Year category at the PRAE 2026 recognizes #Borouge International’s innovation capabilities and #manufacturing strengths, as well as its role in accelerating the global transition toward sustainable mobility.


The high-performance compound supports the industry to prepare for regulations such as the upcoming EU End of Life Vehicles (ELV) regulation, which mandates the use of recycled materials from post-consumer waste streams.

Developed across Borouge International’s global operations, the material demonstrates the power of international collaboration in scaling circular solutions and supporting the #automotive industry’s move toward low‑carbon, high‑performance materials.

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share : Robotic 3D printing can compete with traditional boatbuilding

Image
Today's KNOWLEDGE Share “Robotic 3D printing can compete with traditional boatbuilding”, Simone Barbera and Mattia De Santis, Caracol V2 catamaran was printed in Italy at Caracol’s production center and headquarter in Barlassina, near Milan, with a Heron AM 400, Caracol’s robotic Large Format Additive Manufacturing (LFAM) platform. The lattest was specifically configured with a 7-axis robotic arm mounted on a rail, enabling the printing of parts up to 10 meters in length. How did the collaboration between V2 Group and Caracol come about? Simone Barbera : The collaboration between V2 Group and Caracol originated from a shared vision to revolutionize boat manufacturing through sustainable innovation. V2 Group, a Spanish-company specialized in nautical design and engineering, is seeking to develop electric vessels manufactured sustainably. On the other hand, Caracol, leader in robotic advanced manufacturing technology, had had years of experience working with Large Format Additive Ma...

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share : What Is Going Wrong in UK Plastics Recycling?

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share What Is Going Wrong in UK Plastics Recycling? Biffa shut its Sunderland plant. Viridor walked away from Avonmouth and Rochester. Yes Recycling Fife collapsed within a year. All three were backed by major investments All three had buyers lined up for recyclate All three are now offline This is not bad luck It is bad structure Over the next four posts I will break down: 1. Why cheap virgin imports are undercutting UK recyclers 2. How weak policy enforcement is fuelling market failure 3. What volatile PRNs and cheap exports are doing to infrastructure 4. Why demand from brands is softer than their promises Let’s start with the first: **Cheap Virgin Resin = Broken Economics** Virgin PE, PP, and PET have been flooding the global market. New capacity in Asia and the US has driven prices down 30 to 40 percent. Meanwhile, recycled plastic costs more to produce in the UK than it can sell for. We are asking UK recyclers to compete with materials made in places with – ...

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share : A BUG IN INJECTION MOLDING

Image
Today's KNOWLEDGE Share A bug in injection molding – an injection-molded part in a bug? Neither! Nature and injection molding have reached similar results. Nature created the first micro-gear long before any human engineering existed. One such example is the Issus coleoptratus (shown in the picture). Furthermore, only now are we reaching the point where injection-molded polymer microgears can approach this level of performance. Looking at the images, which one do you think is the natural gear, and which one is the molded version? It is not that easy to tell, right? Their appearance and operating principles are surprisingly similar. Chitin, a natural linear polymer, forms what nature essentially "molds” into shape. In engineering, we rely on advanced technical polymers to produce similar geometry through actual injection molding. They are not the same material, yet they solve the same issue: Stiffness, dimensional stability, and reliable function at a scale where tolerances...
