Braven PyChem is ISCC PLUS certified and manufactured using Braven’s proprietary pyrolysis technology, produced from plastic waste streams diverted from landfills and incineration.
BASF and Braven Environmental have signed a supply agreement for ISCC PLUS-certified Braven PyChem, an advanced recycled feedstock from plastic waste.
It will partially replace fossil resources at BASF’s Port Arthur, Texas facility via the ChemCycling process.
This supports plastics circularity, enabling customers to use Ccycled products in industries like construction and automotive.
BASF will use PyChem in its ChemCycling process where the share of recycled plastics is attributed to certain products manufactured in the value chain using a third-party audited mass balance approach. The products, which carry the “Ccycled” designation, have the same properties as those manufactured from fossil feedstock. Customers will be able to further process them in the same way as conventionally manufactured products and use them in demanding applications such as in the construction or automotive industries.
“Solving the challenge of plastic waste and creating a more circular economy requires innovation and collaboration across the value chain,” said Christoph Gahn, Vice President of Circularity & Sustainable Raw Materials Petrochemicals at BASF. “This offtake agreement with Braven is an important step toward the commercialization of our Ccycled portfolio in North America. By using recycled feedstock in a mass balance approach, we can save fossil resources, and by using Ccycled products, BASF customers are enabling plastics circularity.”
“Partnering with BASF is an exciting step forward in our commitment to scaling advanced recycling solutions,” said Jim Simon, President and CEO of Braven Environmental. “This collaboration will accelerate the deployment of our patented pyrolysis technology, helping to transform plastic waste into valuable resources. With BASF’s global expertise and dedication to sustainability, we are well-positioned to drive meaningful change in the circular economy and reduce the environmental impact of plastic waste.”
