en.Wedoany.com Reported - Dutch technology company BlueAlp has partnered with BioBTX, with BlueAlp selected as the technology partner for the BioBTX project in Delfzijl. The project will integrate BlueAlp's pyrolysis technology with BioBTX's catalytic process to convert hard-to-recycle mixed plastic waste into high-value circular aromatics, thereby advancing the circular economy.
BlueAlp's patented pyrolysis technology converts mixed plastic waste into a gas phase through gradual heating, while BioBTX transforms these gases into circular aromatics—benzene, toluene, and xylene—via its ICCP catalytic process. These are key raw materials for industries such as automotive and advanced materials. This integrated technology will be implemented at BioBTX's Delfzijl plant, where BlueAlp will provide the technology license and be responsible for the design and manufacturing of the pyrolysis unit. The plant will have an annual processing capacity of approximately 20,000 tonnes of plastic waste, with the pyrolysis module set to be shipped to the site for assembly starting December 2026.
"After extensive evaluation, we selected BlueAlp because of its continuous process and proven technology, which has reached TRL 9," said Ton Vries, CEO of BioBTX. "By combining BlueAlp's technology with our ICCP technology, we have created a best-of-both-worlds solution that has the potential to reshape the future of the circular chemical industry." Valentijn de Neve, CEO of BlueAlp, added: "This partnership is a significant milestone, allowing us to enter the circular aromatics market more directly and providing a clearer pathway for circular benzene, toluene, and xylene."
The Delfzijl plant will be the first facility to deploy ICCP technology on an industrial scale, marking a crucial step in the circular utilization of plastic waste and reducing dependence on fossil-based aromatics. Headquartered in Groningen, the Netherlands, BioBTX is dedicated to converting biomass and plastic waste into sustainable chemicals through its ICCP technology, driving the circular economy forward.
