Plastic recycling: USA. Refinity, an Innventure Inc announced key advances across both its commodity olefins and specialty hydrocarbons platforms, including an exclusive license from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory for technology designed to convert waste plastic-derived light olefins into distillate-range products for further upgrading into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), renewable diesel (RD), or lubricants and other technical fluids. The company's primary go-to-market strategy is to build and operate conversion plants adjacent to petrochemical steam cracker complexes, where existing infrastructure can be used to purify and utilize the resulting olefins. Through this model, Refinity aims to supply circular ethylene and propylene to petrochemical companies Link 30/06/2026.
