TotalEnergies (TTE) has agreed to acquire Plastic Energy's 35% stake in the Grandpuits advanced plastics recycling plant in France, making it the sole owner of the facility, the company said Friday.
The plant, which started production in March, has annual capacity to process 15,000 tons of hard-to-recycle plastic waste into synthetic oil through a pyrolysis process.
The synthetic oil can be used to produce recycled plastics with the same quality as virgin plastics, including for food-contact and medical applications, it added.
