00:00:09.960 --> 00:00:11.640
Hi my name is Beate Edl

00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:13.320
and I am a Senior Project Manager

00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:15.840
at OMV’s Plastic-to-Plastic Department.

00:00:15.840 --> 00:00:17.920
My job, together with my colleagues,

00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:19.400
is to shape the business model

00:00:19.400 --> 00:00:22.400
around OMV's plastic recycling activities

00:00:22.400 --> 00:00:23.800
along the value chain.

00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:26.760
OMV's chemical recycling technology ReOil

00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:28.520
addresses waste streams

00:00:28.520 --> 00:00:29.600
that are not covered

00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:31.640
by existing recycling routes

00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:33.680
and thereby has the potential

00:00:33.680 --> 00:00:35.360
to increase recycling rates

00:00:35.360 --> 00:00:36.680
and further decrease

00:00:36.680 --> 00:00:37.880
greenhouse gas emissions.

00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:39.080
The go-live of the

00:00:39.080 --> 00:00:41.200
ReOil 2000 demo-plant

00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:44.000
in Schwechat refinery in 2023

00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:45.920
is the next important milestone

00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:48.120
towards our circular business approach.

00:00:48.120 --> 00:00:49.520
The long-term goal is

00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:50.680
is to develop ReOil

00:00:50.680 --> 00:00:52.200
into a commercially viable

00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:54.920
industrial-scale recycling technology

00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:58.520
processing 200 kt of used plastic per year.

00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:01.920
I firmly believe

00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:04.480
that we should use our resources wisely

00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:07.120
and keep valuable materials in the loop.

00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:08.760
Borealis and OMV's

00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:10.240
complementary mechanical

00:01:10.240 --> 00:01:12.120
and chemical recycling technologies

00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:14.640
can contribute to the transformation

00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:15.560
from a linear

00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:17.680
to a circular economy for plastics,

00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:19.840
a transformation that is needed

00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:21.600
to reach our climate targets.

00:01:21.600 --> 00:01:23.320
For me, working at OMV

00:01:23.320 --> 00:01:25.200
ensures that I walk the talk

00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:26.760
and make a direct contribution

00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:28.160
to sustainable living

00:01:28.160 --> 00:01:31.160
by shaping the future towards circularity.
