en.Wedoany.com Reported - Borouge International has globally launched Borcycle™ GE2331SY, a new high-performance recycled polypropylene composite designed for demanding structural automotive components, which has been shortlisted for the 2026 European Plastics Recycling Awards in the "Automotive, Electrical or Electronic Product of the Year" category.
Founded in March 2026 by XRG (ADNOC's international investment arm) and OMV, Borouge International is a global polyolefins producer integrating three regionally independent operations: Borouge plc, Borealis GmbH, and NOVA Chemicals Corporation.
This glass fiber-reinforced composite combines 40% post-consumer recycled material with 20% glass fiber, meeting the strength requirements for interior structural components. Multiple original equipment manufacturers have already adopted the material for high-end structural automotive parts, including center console frames and instrument panel frames. The product is part of the Borcycle M portfolio, a series of high-performance mechanically recycled polyolefin solutions designed to support the entire value chain in reducing carbon emissions and increasing recycled content.
Elisabeth Dedl, Global Head of Mobility Marketing at Borealis Polymere GmbH, stated that as the automotive industry strives to reduce its environmental footprint, Borcycle demonstrates that recycled content and high performance can go hand in hand, enabling automakers to integrate circular materials into vehicles.
The composite helps the industry prepare for upcoming regulations such as the European Union's End of Life Vehicles (ELV) directive, which mandates the use of recycled materials from post-consumer waste streams.
Developed across Borouge International's global operations, the material showcases the role of international collaboration in scaling circular solutions. Celia Chen, Vice President of Mobility at Borouge, stated that with Borcycle GE2331SY, the company is helping global customers meet the growing demand for sustainable mobility solutions. Developed in partnership with industry collaborators, the material demonstrates how circular innovation can deliver the performance required by real-world markets.
Borcycle GE2331SY is produced at multiple Borouge International facilities in Europe, China, and the United States using locally sourced raw materials, supported by a globally unified manufacturing strategy that ensures consistent quality at scale, strengthens local supply chains, and reduces transport-related emissions. This launch builds on the success of the Borcycle GD3600SY, introduced in 2024 with 65% PCR content, expanding the global reach of the Borcycle M portfolio.
