Neste introduces co-processed renewable Neste RE feedstock for the polymers and chemical compounds business
- Neste enhances its providing of extra sustainable feedstock for polymers and chemical compounds manufacturing with co-processed Neste RE, a complementary answer to present renewable and recycled Neste RE
- Because of the usage of renewable uncooked supplies within the manufacturing of Neste RE, the product has a smaller carbon footprint than typical fossil feedstock generally used within the chemical compounds business
Neste expands its providing for the polymers and chemical compounds business by introducing a co-processed renewable feedstock underneath its established Neste RE™ model. By co-processing renewable uncooked supplies reminiscent of used cooking oil along with fossil crude oil in its typical oil refinery in Porvoo, Finland, Neste is ready to produce a complementary kind of Neste RE, a drop-in feedstock for the manufacturing of plastics and chemical compounds.
