Borealis and e-fuels leader Infinium to turn carbon emissions into plastics

New Infinium eNaphtha to serve as sustainable feedstock alternative for plastics used to manufacture consumer goods.

eFuels leader Infinium and Borealis have entered into an agreement to enable the production of low-carbon-footprint plastics generated from waste carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. These plastics, known as polyolefins, are commonly used in manufacturing consumer goods including packaging, appliances, apparel and medical devices.

“Many people aren’t aware that countless plastics products we use every day come from fossil-based components,” said Infinium CEO Robert Schuetzle.

“With Infinium eNaphtha, Borealis will create plastics with an ultra-low carbon footprint for customers and end consumers seeking more sustainable, environmentally friendly alternatives,” he added.

As the world’s first supplier of commercial volumes of eNaphtha, a sustainable drop-in alternative to traditional fossil-based naphtha, Infinium is helping to decarbonize plastics production and reduce harmful CO2 emissions globally.
