Borouge partners with Indian compounds manufacturer to develop recycled solutions

Borouge Plc and India’s APPL Industries Limited (APPL) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to develop polymer compounds with recycled content.

Borouge and APPL will collaborate to develop sustainable polymer compounds with recycled content.

This collaboration marks Borouge’s first venture with an Indian compounding partner to create products with recycled material. The move also aligns with the growing market demand for sustainable solutions for a wide range of applications.

The developed compounded products will undergo stringent testing at Borouge’s Innovation Center in Abu Dhabi before they are approved for market.

APPL is one of the India’s largest polymer compounds manufacturers that serves various industries globally including automotive, appliances, infrastructure and consumer goods.

APPL has received various certifications for its facilities and product to ensure safety and consistent quality, including ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 for quality management, IATF 16949 for the automotive supply chain, VDA 6.3 for production audits and Global Recycled Standard for recycled content.

“This collaboration with APPL will allow Borouge to leverage our innovation and expertise to create added value and competitive advantage for our customers, allowing more companies access to sustainable and recycling resources that can meet their requirements,” said Rainer Hoefling, CEO of Borouge Pte Ltd.

The collaboration with APPL adds to Borouge’s ongoing circularity initiatives. Today, Borouge has a growing network of strategic partnerships with recycling companies, serving its key territories in the Middle East and Asia-Pacific.
