Description
Objectives

The project will finance the promoter's RDI programme for the period 2020-2022. Investments will support the transition towards circular low fossil carbon polymers to produce high performance durable plastics and elastomers.

The EIB financing will support the development of the promoter's circular economy program for the upcoming 3 years. The promoter intends to develop new technologies with the purpose to move away from fossil resources in its production, and use raw materials from renewable/secondary sources, such as plastics waste, biomass and CO2.

Environmental aspects
Procurement

The project includes RDI activities that are not specifically mentioned under the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Directive and that will be carried out in existing facilities without changing their already authorised scope. The project will therefore not require an EIA under the directive 2014/52/EU amending directive 2011/92/EU.

The promoter has been assessed by EIB as being a private company not operating in the utilities sector and not having a status of a contracting entity, thus not being subject to EU rules on public procurement.
