As a member of the Business Coalition for a Global Plastics Treaty, Borealis supports the development of the UN Treaty on Plastics Pollution. The proposed UN Global Treaty to End Plastics Pollution is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to tackle the plastic pollution crisis in a globally coordinated way - to align the international community behind a legally-binding vision of a circular economy. Borealis is proud to have joined the Business Coalition for a Global Plastics Treaty, convened by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation (EMF) and the WWF. Its shared vision sees the treaty as the key policy mechanism to accelerate progress to a circular economy and end plastic pollution. With the company's Borcycle, Borvida and Stelora ranges, Borealis offers the entire range of circular products from biomass, as well as mechanically and chemically recycled feedstock. In addition, the firm continues to invest in recycling technologies and its innovation capabilities, its enablers to lead the charge on a circular transformation. The company's sustainability ambition going forward is to create a world where there is no waste of resources, no emissions into the environment and no harm to society, while delivering prosperity for Borealis and its stakeholders. It has set to improve the circularity of plastics, protect the climate and care for the health and safety of its communities. In 2019, Borealis processed around 64,000 tonnes of circular products in Europe. By 2025, Borealis is targeting a capacity increase of circular product solutions to 600,000 tonnes. These include recycled and renewable polymers and chemicals, as well as renewable hydrocarbons. By 2030, the capacity of circular products and solutions is set to reach 1.8 M tonnes globally, turning the present plastic waste into a valuable resource to be reused. Moving from a linear towards a circular economy will also significantly reduce the Group's Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions. Borealis aims to reduce its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions from 5.1 M tonnes (base year 2019) to less than 2 M tonnes by 2030. The emission reduction portfolio includes increased use of electricity from renewable sources throughout the decade, as well as carbon capture projects, which will come on stream in 2H of this decade. The reduction target also includes the announced divestment of Borealis' nitrogen business, which comprises fertilizers, technical nitrogen products and melamine. In 2022, around 28% of the electricity Borealis used in its own operations was derived from renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power. By 2025, the share of renewables in the electricity mix will increase to 40%. By 2030, 100% of the electricity used in Borealis' Polyolefins and Hydrocarbons operations will be of renewable origin. Furthermore, the group aims to achieve zero non-emerging flaring, and continues to strive towards zero loss of plastic pellets from its operations.
