BANGKOK, THAILAND / ACCESSWIRE / September 25, 2023 / COUNT Energy Trading partners with Corsair Group International in a groundbreaking collaboration. This venture accelerates the global recycling of plastic waste into sustainable circular products, initially launching in Finland and Thailand with plans for further expansion.

COUNT Energy Trading, renowned for its expertise in the petrochemical industry, offers a complete portfolio from bulk trading to chemical distribution and sustainability, enters into a collaboration agreement with Corsair Group International (Corsair). Corsair, an ISCC-certified pioneer in the chemical recycling of plastic waste, transforms daily household plastic waste, such as plastic bags, wrapping materials, and packaging products into Advanced Bio-oil.

COUNT's ESG Manager, Simon Housecroft reflected on this collaboration stating, 'COUNT is excited to be partnering with Corsair in a global strategy to give new life to waste plastics and, working to optimise the world's resources. This partnership increases COUNT's ability to service its global consumer base with sustainable feedstocks outside of its core marketplace.'

This off-take collaboration between COUNT and Corsair marks the initiation of COUNT's Advanced Bio-oil procurement from Corsair. The Bio-oil procured will be distributed to global petrochemical majors for the production of circular new plastics.

The CEO of Corsair, Mr. Jussi Veikko Saloranta said, 'We are very excited about this collaboration with COUNT.

COUNT is a global pioneer in petrochemicals for sustainable plastics, and we are excited to have our teams work together to create solutions for new plastic production and plastic waste recycling around the world.

Plastic waste is a major global problem. We as humanity must do all we can to develop efficient ways of recycling old, discarded plastic waste into new plastic products - exactly as has been done with metals, glass, and paper. Burning plastics in incinerators or dumping them into landfills is not a solution - the right way is to turn old plastics into new circular plastic products.

Of the hundreds of billions of plastic waste kilos generated around the world annually, less than 10% is estimated to be recycled at this present time. With the support of COUNT, Corsair is now able to expand its operations at a faster pace and make a greater positive impact on our environment,' Saloranta said.

Corsair envisions a promising future for this partnership, commencing in Finland and Thailand, where a facility is currently under construction in Finland, and two operational plants have already been established in Thailand. Further expansion plans encompass regions spanning Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and the United States of America.

'COUNT and their innovative team have truly been the forward thinkers in this field. The Advanced Bio-oil produced by Corsair will now be distributed by COUNT to some of the largest plastic manufacturing companies worldwide, for the production of new, more sustainable, and truly circular plastic products.

We at Corsair are on a mission to rid our planet of plastic pollution. As a result of this collaboration with COUNT, we are taking a major step toward achieving this goal, for the good of the planet and people,' Saloranta added.
