Geminor secures supply deal with ReNew ELP
Norway-headed resource management and trading company Geminor AS has announced that it has secured a supply agreement with UK plastics recycling company ReNew ELP, contributing to the first plastic recycling technology in the country. Beginning in December, Geminor will supply between 15,000 and 20,000 tonnes of polyolefin-rich plastic films annually to ReNew ELP’s advanced plastic recycling facility in Wilton, North East England.
This residual plastic, which would typically be diverted to refuse-derived fuel (RDF) or solid recovered fuel (SRF) production, will be transformed back into circular hydrocarbons, advancing the circular economy in plastic manufacturing.
Our supply agreement with ReNew ELP’s facility is a significant step forward for Geminor. We are proud to be part of a solution that reshapes the industry by reducing environmental impact and creating lasting economic value, said Kjetil Vikingstad, CEO of Geminor.
The collaboration between Geminor and ReNew ELP focuses on repurposing end-of-life plastics (ELPs) by converting them back into their original hydrocarbon form.
The fossil-replacement offtake can then be reintroduced into the plastic manufacturing cycle, making a sustainable impact in an industry under pressure from rising carbon taxes.
Our work with ReNew ELP shows our commitment to finding new uses for hard-to-recycle plastics. This shift benefits the environment, local communities, and industry partners. It has become more urgent as rising carbon taxes impact waste management across sectors, added Oliver Caunce, UK Country Manager at Geminor.
Advanced circular economy technology
ReNew ELP, a subsidiary of Mura Technology, uses Mura’s Hydro-PRT process to convert plastic waste into circular hydrocarbon feedstocks of a quality comparable to fossil-sourced oils.
This advanced process uses supercritical water—a state achieved at high pressure and temperature where water behaves as both a liquid and a gas—to break down plastics without degrading the material’s integrity, making infinite recycling possible.
With carbon taxes pushing for lower fossil content, this innovation offers a sustainable, cost-effective alternative to traditional fossil-based plastic production.
