"This Joint Venture will provide recycled LDPE and LLDPE materials and complements our existing Recover range of high density polyethylene and polypropylene products," says Yvonne van der Laan , LyondellBasell's executive vice president, Circular and Low Carbon Solutions. "It adds to our efforts in advanced recycling and delivers against our integrated hub strategy, where we invest upstream to provide feedstock from various plastic waste streams. With this efficient full suite of solutions we continue to be the preferred partner of our customers."

The new recycling unit is expected to produce 26,000 tons per year of recycled LDPE and LLDPE grades that LyondellBasell will market through its Recover family of products for use in various applications from stretch films to collation shrink films. The Recover product family comprises a wide range of mechanically recycled materials that are currently used in applications ranging from electrical appliances, to washing detergent bottles and suitcases.

TM Recycling GmbH, a sister company of AFA Nord, will be responsible to provide the feedstock for LMF Nord GmbH. TM Recycling is also a member of the Mensing Group.

"We already operate Germany's only agricultural film recycling plant for a number of years and have a broad experience in the production of  recycled materials," says Andreas Mensing , managing director of AFA Nord. "Together with LyondellBasell we can contribute to a circular economy and increase the availability of recycled solutions for flexible packaging applications."

AFA Nord is a LDPE/LLDPE recycling company, specialized in recycling heavily contaminated LDPE films originating from the agricultural and construction industries. We provide a "real" close loop, picking up the films directly from the farms, recycling them and producing pellets that our partners convert into new film; we then sell back the film to the farmers. 

TM Recycling GmbH is a sister company of AFA Nord and is also a member of the Mensing Group. TM Recycling will be responsible to provide the feedstock for LMF Nord GmbH.
