Freepoint Eco-Systems and Source One Partner for Advanced Recycling in Europe
Freepoint Eco-Systems International Ltd (Freepoint Eco-Systems) and Source One GmbH (Source One) have agreed to enter into a long-term collaboration agreement to develop multiple pretreatment facilities to treat waste streams, such as post-consumer waste (PCR), to support the growth of pyrolysis infrastructure across Europe.
Under the agreement, Freepoint Eco-Systems plans to build a network of pretreatment installations in key European markets, with Source One acting as the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contractor. These facilities will convert mixed plastic waste into high-quality feedstock suitable for both advanced and mechanical recycling.
Source One has developed a unique, high-standard pretreatment concept that has already been proven in commercial-scale operation to be capable of producing feedstock that meets the requirements of both pyrolysis and mechanical processing. Designed to handle complex waste streams, such as mixed plastic packaging and flexible films, the system reduces energy use and environmental impact and sets a new benchmark for quality, operational efficiency, and compliance with evolving regulatory expectations.
The planned cooperation agreement aligns with Freepoint Eco-Systems' broader ambition to become a leading supplier of feedstock for advanced recycling in Europe. Material from these facilities will supply Freepoint Eco-Systems' own pyrolysis plants and support other upcycling initiatives across the continent.
