Borealis
The study was carried out by ifeu, an independent ecological institutes, based in Heidelberg, Germany. They analysed the life cycle emissions of Borealisâ PP produced at its production sites in Kallo and Beringen, Belgium, when Nesteâs renewable feedstock was used in the production to replace conventional feedstock.
The study showed that from cradle-to-gate (all steps from the sourcing of raw materials to products leaving Borealisâ production site), GHG emissions are reduced by at least 120% (2.7kg of CO2 equivalent per kg of PP) compared with PP manufactured with fossil-based feedstock at the same location.
