Borouge and Borealis: Steering Automotive Innovation with Sustainable Polypropylene Solutions

In the realm of the automotive industry, sustainability is no longer a mere buzzword but a driving force. Borouge, a collaborative venture between Borealis and the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), has taken a significant leap forward in this journey. They have launched two groundbreaking polypropylene (PP) products made from up to 70% post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials, marking a new era of sustainable automotive solutions.


These novel PP solutions, crafted at Borouge’s Compounding Manufacturing Plant in Shanghai, have been tailored to meet the demands of the automotive industry. The first product, with 50% PCR material, reduces the carbon footprint by 28% and finds its application in under-body shields, bumper brackets, and structural parts in cars. The second, a blend of up to 70% PCR materials, achieves a 32% reduction in carbon footprint and is ideal for producing wheel arches and other exterior components.


What's more, these solutions leverage Borealis’ proprietary Borstar technology, offering greater design freedom, ease of processing, and lightweight properties compared to conventional materials like metal. This makes them an ideal replacement solution for the automotive sector, aligning with the industry's shift towards sustainable practices.


Three key insights from this development for investors are:


1. The automotive industry's increasing demand for sustainable solutions presents a significant market opportunity.

2. The successful certification of Borouge’s plant under ISO 14067 indicates a strong commitment to sustainability, potentially attracting environmentally conscious investors.

3. The use of proprietary technology like Borstar highlights the importance of innovation in maintaining a competitive edge in the market.
