Repsol: Circular economy solutions for polyurethanes

Repsol presented its extensive polyether polyols portfolio at Utech Europe 2021, the international three-day exhibition and conference for the global polyurethanes industry, in Maastricht, The Netherlands.

According to Repsol, the company's presence was mainly focused on its Net Zero Emissions by 2050 commitment and its circular economy solutions, with its ambition of recycling the equivalent of 20 % of its polyolefin production by 2030.

On this occasion, Repsol was particularly enthusiastic about introducing to all present its plan to build Spain's first chemical polyurethane foam recycling plant at its Puertollano Industrial Complex. The recycling plant will be capable of processing over 2,000 tonnes of polyurethane waste per year and will be operational by the end of 2022. Furthermore, this new plant will enable the company to offer its customers circular polyols from post-consumer flexible polyurethane waste under its Reciclex brand.

Another relevant highlight for the company's participation in this edition of Utech Europe was its recent certification under the IATF 16949:2016, the highest accreditation for automotive products. To accomplish this milestone, Repsol has modified all its automotive materials production centres to comply with the international standards for quality management systems in the automotive industry.

Repsol, who traditionally exhibits at this event for the polyurethane industry, said it was thrilled to have the opportunity again to meet its clients and stakeholders to discover opportunities and share new projects and developments.
