How recycled PolyAl reduces your Scope 3 emissions
Switching feedstock is the highest-leverage decarbonisation move most plastic processors haven't made yet.
Most plastic processors have already squeezed Scope 1 and 2. The factory runs on green electricity, machines are insulated, lighting is LED. The real carbon — sometimes 80% of it — sits upstream in Scope 3, in the polymer they buy.
The number that matters
1 tonne of virgin HDPE ≈ 1.8 t CO₂ eq cradle-to-gate. 1 tonne of recycled PolyAl ≈ 0.4 t CO₂ eq. That is a 78% reduction per tonne of feedstock, before you optimise anything else.
What it looks like in your annual report
A processor consuming 2,000 t/year of virgin HDPE who switches half of it to PolyAl removes ~1,400 t CO₂ from their Scope 3 ledger. That is the equivalent of taking 300 cars off the road, every year, on a single procurement decision.
And it is auditable
Each PolyAl batch ships with a technical sheet documenting feedstock origin, processing route and quantity. Your CSRD and SBTi auditors get the paper trail they need without you building anything custom.
