This comes at a time when data shows that even under the most ambitious scenarios, recycling and reuse strategies are projected to meet only around 50% of global plastics demand by 2050. To meet the remaining demand sustainably, Europe must accelerate alternative production pathways – such as green-methanol-to-olefins (MTO) – that can deliver fossil-free virgin plastics at scale. Now Vioneo is proud to be the first mover bringing this solution to market, marking a new chapter in the renaissance of plastics.

Vioneo’s Antwerp-based plant is designed to deliver these commercially ready materials at scale – ensuring the uncompromising quality that modern industries demand while delivering significant environmental benefits. For every kilogram of plastic produced, up to 6 kg of CO₂ emissions are avoided.

“For years I heard the argument that fossil free polymer production can’t scale – we show it can. Converters and brand owners can expect the same processing efficiency and product performance they rely on today, while seamlessly integrating fossil-free plastics into their existing manufacturing operations. It’s a game-changer for sectors looking to reduce emissions without disruption.” said Katja Wodjereck, CCO of Vioneo.

Harnessing the true Power of Plastics

With this year’s K2025 theme celebrating The Power of Plastics, Vioneo demonstrates that power in action. By harnessing innovative chemistry and renewable feedstocks, Vioneo demonstrates that plastics can be both high-performing and climate-responsible. Their solution proves that the true power of plastics lies not only in their versatility and durability, but also in their ability to drive a more sustainable future across industries.

About Vioneo

Vioneo aims to pioneer the defossilisation of the chemical sector by using green methanol to produce fossil-free polypropylene and polyethylene at a commercial scale. The first plant, based in Port of Antwerp, will use green methanol to produce app. 300,000 tonnes of fossil-free virgin plastics. Vioneo is owned by A.P. Moller Holding. www.vioneo.com
