We launch our bio-based polyolefins to reduce the medical sector's carbon footprint
Our new advanced bio-based range offers a negative carbon footprint, removing more CO2 from the atmosphere than it emits. It is a game-changing solution for the medical sector, designed to meet the industry's growing demand for eco-friendly solutions.
We offer our pioneering range of bio-based polyolefins, a first-generation range made from sustainable organic oils, and second-generation bio-based polyolefins, made from organic waste, for pharmaceutical applications. With a strong focus on eco-design, the range replaces traditional feedstock from refineries with bio-based feedstock from sustainable crops oil or the reuse of organic waste.
Our new advanced bio-based range offers a negative carbon footprint on a cradle-to-gate methodology under the ISO 14067 standard, removing more CO2 from the atmosphere than the emissions in the supply chain processes. Replacing the traditional feedstock used at our industrial sites with this new bio-based feedstock, which has previously removed CO2 from the atmosphere by photosynthesis during its plantation life cycle, improves carbon footprint to -1 tCO2/t for our first-generation polyolefins and -2,5 tCO2/t for our second-generation polyolefins. Furthermore, this bio-based range is ISCC Plus certified for traceability through mass balance. These eco-friendly solutions are already available to our pharmaceutical packaging and medical device clients in the European market, meeting the European pharmacopeia standards and offering healthcare manufacturers an opportunity to reduce CO2 emissions while prioritizing product safety |

We develop a specific range of grades of EVA and EBA copolymers recommended for the photovoltaic industry
EVA copolymers are the preferred option for the encapsulation of solar cells. For this reason, we have developed two Repsol Primeva® grades with a high comonomer content: P28025S (28% VA, MFI of 25 g/10 min) and P33045S (33% VA and MFI of 45 g/10 min). Both grades have good processability, excellent film quality, with significantly low gel content and good adhesion to glass.
Additionally, our Repsol Ebantix® E20020 (20% BA and MFI of 20 g/10 min) and E27025S (27% BA and MFI of 25 g/10 min) grades can also prevent potential induced degradation (PID) in solar panels and are especially suitable for encapsulants with special corrosion resistance requirements. They also show advantages related to thermal and UV stability, processability, and adhesion to glass and other solar module components. |

We take part in the Congress of Recyclable Monomaterial Packaging Solutions
We participated in the third Congress of Recyclable Monomaterial Packaging Solutions, held in Rotterdam on July 4th and 5th. There we have been part of a panel of packaging supply chain experts and have been able to share the innovations and challenges we face when offering monomaterial packaging while maintaining product quality. |
| We showcase our automotive solutions at the "New Materials for Future Mobility" NeMMo International Congress
During this edition, held on May 10 and 11 in Nantes (France), we presented our decarbonization roadmap to becoming a net zero emissions company by 2050.
We also presented our innovative range of polyolefin solutions for the automotive industry, and our new PP compound plant in Morocco, as an example of local integration with the automotive market |

| We present our sustainable polyolefins
"Promoting the model of circularity and sustainability of plastics" was the presentation presented by Noemí Artal, Reciclex Manager, showing the sustainable solutions that we are developing, such as our new ranges of recycled polyolefins, created applying eco-design techniques, and introducing into our mechanical and chemical recycling products under our Repsol Reciclex® brand. And our new ranges of bio-based polyolefins, made with raw materials of bio origin, such as used oil residues, have a negative carbon footprint. |
