In October 2025, Beston Group successfully completed the delivery of plastic pyrolysis project in Finland. 3 BLJ-16 plastic pyrolysis machines were fully installed and commissioned, meeting the production expectations of the Finnish customer. This milestone is significant for the Finnish customer’s market expansion in Europe. The project enables Finnish customer to successfully enter the European waste plastic management sector. Beston Group’s plastic pyrolysis solutions support the client in taking a further step towards sustainable energy production.
1. Challenges Faced
Since enacting various regulations on plastic recycling, European countries have faced multiple challenges in effectively managing plastic waste:
- Massive volume of waste: The total amount of plastic waste generated in Europe continues to grow, creating immense pressure for processing.
- Low recycling rates: A large amount of plastic ends up in landfills or incineration rather than being reused.
- High recycling costs: High labor and energy costs in Europe make it difficult for traditional recycling plants to be profitable.
Amid these challenges, the Finnish customer saw an opportunity to turn waste into value through advanced pyrolysis technology.
2. Goal for Change
Compared to traditional physical recycling methods, the Finnish customer believes that chemical recycling is the future of plastics processing in Europe. In particular, pyrolysis technology can convert plastic waste into pyrolysis oil with high market value. To achieve this goal, the customer is seeking plastic pyrolysis machine capable of large-scale recycling and stable operation. The customer also hopes to partner with equipment manufacturers that can provide full-service support, from installation to technical assistance.
3. Action and Solution
After thoroughly evaluating multiple suppliers, the Finnish client ultimately chose to partner with Beston Group to bring their plastics pyrolysis project to fruition.
Configuration Plan:
The project utilizes three BLJ-16 plastics pyrolysis equipment, each with a processing capacity of 8–10 tons/day. A dual-system structure (manifold + catalytic system) is employed to ensure higher pyrolysis efficiency and oil quality.
Service Support:
Beston Group provides a one-stop service, handling everything from configuration design, equipment manufacturing, installation and commissioning to operator training, with a professional team responsible for the entire process to ensure smooth project commencement and achieve the expected production capacity.
4. Results Achieved
- Significant processing capacity: The project now handles over 10,000 tons of plastic waste annually, greatly reducing landfill and incineration volumes in the region.
- High-value pyrolysis oil: The produced oil has obtained ISCC certification and will be supplied to major European oil companies as a valuable refining feedstock.
- Long-term strategic cooperation: The project’s success led to a strategic partnership between the Finnish customer and Beston Group, laying the foundation for future expansion.
- Growing market influence: With advanced pyrolysis technology and a strong focus on sustainability, the customer has become one of Europe’s leading plastic recycling companies and plans to further scale up chemical recycling projects.
