Under this agreement, Corsair converts daily household plastic waste into advanced bio oil through pyrolysis and supplies this oil from its chemical recycling facility for plastic waste in Thailand to the Shell Energy and Chemicals Park Singapore on Bukom Island.

The pyrolysis oil is then used in the production of sustainable circular chemicals. These chemicals serve a wide range of everyday products such as cleaning products, textiles, food packaging, and many others.

The CEO of Corsair, Mr Jussi Veikko Saloranta, shared:

“We are truly excited about this collaboration with Shell.”

Why does Shell buy oil from Corsair?

Plastic waste presents a major global challenge. Hundreds of billions of kilograms of plastic waste are generated worldwide every year, while current recycling rates remain far below what the planet requires.

The focus now moves toward developing efficient solutions that transform end of life plastic waste into new plastic products, similar to the circular systems already established for metals, glass, and paper. True progress comes from converting used plastic back into valuable materials.

“At Shell, we see chemical recycling as a powerful and viable way to complement mechanical recycling efforts.

This approach supports higher recycling rates that are essential for reducing plastic waste in the environment. This partnership represents innovation as well as a strong commitment to a sustainable and circular future,” said Phil Turley, General Manager of Global Plastic Circular Economy at Shell.
