Spanish energy giant Repsol has reached an agreement with Rampf Eco Solutions, allowing it to apply Repsol's chemical recycling technology to develop and build recycled, flexible polyol plants throughout Europe. Repsol stated that the agreement specifically covers the analysis of the construction of new plants in Europe and the development of new polyols produced from post-consumer polyurethane waste of different sources and qualities. Repsol has made a company commitment to achieve zero emissions by 2050.
The joint press release stated that the agreement makes it possible for the two companies to combine expertise in recycling technology and polyol production capacity and engineering. Using these synergies, the two companies will effectively promote soft foam recycling in development and new site construction.
The agreement follows Repsol's announcement in March last year to build the first polyurethane recycling plant in Spain to produce recycled polyols from end-of-life mattresses. The plant is scheduled to be put into operation by the end of 2022. According to Repsol, the plant will be able to process more than 2,000 metric tons of post-consumer waste each year.
Marco Werth, Sales and Marketing Director of Rampf Eco Solutions, said: "We are proud to work with such a well-known team of experts. "Repsol's commitment to achieving net zero emissions by 2050 is truly encouraging. Both companies have a strong dedication and enthusiasm for the circular economy, and this cooperation is symbolic. "
Rampf Eco Solutions, headquartered in Pirmasens, Germany, specializes in the production of polyols from polyurethane waste. It has also developed the chemical process of PET/PSA; PLA, PC, PHB and other polyesters; renewable or bio-based raw materials, such as vegetable oil, can be used as a source of raw materials for the manufacture of recycled polyols.
Repsol said the agreement proves its ambition to transform its industrial complex into a multi-energy center capable of producing low, zero or even negative carbon footprint products. It also demonstrates Repsol's commitment to the circular economy by providing sustainable solutions for polyurethane processors and consumers.
