SynPet's Port of
Antwerp Circular Hub

We have established a viable, circular, self-sustainable hub at the heart of one of Europe’s largest ports.

SynPet's Port of
Antwerp Circular Hub

We have established a viable, circular, self-sustainable hub at the heart of one of Europe’s largest ports.

Leveraging experience from our Turkish demo plant, our circular hub will operate at commercial scale and serve as an R&D center. We are proud to create a facility capable of recycling plastic waste that cannot be processed by conventional methods such as pyrolysis or gasification.

Driving Innovation at the Port of Antwerp Circular Hub

i1

Upscaling and optimizing our technology to enhance efficiency and output.

i4

Ensuring that our end products meet industrial standards and circular economy goals.

i3

Meeting the global demand for circular naphtha substitutes and renewable natural gas.

Opportunities & Impact Created by the Port of Antwerp Circular Hub Project

Thermal Conversion Process (TCP®)

13 Years of R&D Experience Transformed into a Smarter Way to Recycle Plastic

  • Patented Process

    Uses water under high pressure and temperature, combined with multi-stage thermal cracking.

  • Proven Performance

    Successfully tested in our demonstration plant, consistently meeting performance targets.

  • High-Quality Output

    Produces circular naphtha substitute (CNS®) suitable for direct blending into petrochemical feedstock.

  • No Upgrade Needed

    CNS® works with conventional naphtha feedstock without additional upgrading.

Circular Hub Impact

  • Recycling

    The circular hub will recycle ~250 kt of plastic waste per year into circular naphtha and renewable natural gas.

  • Emissions

    The project will avoid 204 to 303 kt of CO₂ emissions per year, compared to conventional methods.

  • Fuel

    The circular hub will recycle 247.5 kt of plastic waste per year.

  • Electricity

    44% of energy needs will be covered with electricity generated on-site through turbines.
