TotalEnergies releases RE:clic product range

TotalEnergies, which is headquartered in France, has launched RE:clic as a new product range for its low-carbon polymers.

According to TotalEnergies, the RE:clic range enables it to distinguish between its RE:use, RE:build and RE:newable polymers ranges.

The RE:use polymers range contains recycled plastic obtained through a mechanical recycling process, derived from postconsumer and postindustrial plastic. The RE:build polymers are produced through an advanced recycling process that converts hard-to-recycle plastic into circular feedstock, and the recycled content of the resulting polymers is tracked throughout the production process. The RE:newable polymers are derived from bio-based products and are produced from renewable feedstocks certified under the International Sustainability & Carbon Certification Plus program.

TotalEnergies says it has been reinventing its polymers sourcing to accompany changes in the plastics value chain. The company says its portfolio based on polymers from recycled material or from bio-feedstock will help its customers to achieve their sustainability goals without compromising on performance or processability.

“This announcement marks yet another step forward in TotalEnergies’ development of a circular economy for plastics and is fully aligned with the company’s ambition,” says Nathalie Brunelle, vice president of polymers at TotalEnergies. “The products associated with these new ranges are concrete solutions to help us reach our ambition of commercializing 30 percent circular polymers by 2030.”
