Versalis to start up new recycled polymer production plant at Porto Marghera

Porto Marghera (Venice), 24 March 2025 – Versalis, Eni’s chemical company, today announces the opening of a new plant in Porto Marghera for the production of plastics made wholly or partially from mechanically recycled raw materials. This project marks another key milestone in the company’s commitment to promoting a more circular and environmentally sustainable economy through technological innovation and post-consumer plastics recycling.

 

The Porto Marghera facility has an annual production capacity of up to 20,000 tonnes of crystal polystyrene (r-GPPS) and expandable polystyrene (r-EPS), using secondary raw materials (SRM) obtained from the recycling of expanded polystyrene (EPS) waste. This initiative meets the growing demand for environmentally sustainable solutions across various industrial and commercial sectors.

 

The materials produced at the new plant are part of the Versalis Revive® range, dedicated to mechanically recycled products, and contain between 35% and 100% post-consumer recycled plastics. These materials are primarily intended for the packaging and construction sectors, extending to thermal insulation panels for buildings and protective packaging for household appliances. Thanks to their high quality, safety and performance, Versalis Revive® products comply with the most stringent market requirements.

 

This project not only provides a concrete response to the structural crisis affecting the European chemical industry, but also strengthens Versalis’ product portfolio, enhancing its market competitiveness. The site’s strategic location, and proximity to Versalis facilities in Mantua, Ferrara and Ravenna, further supports the supply chain with efficient logistics for both raw materials and finished products.

 

“The new plant in Porto Marghera is a first step towards the conversion of Venice’s petrochemical hub, in line with the transformation and relaunch plan for Versalis, which was recently signed at the Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy”, said Adriano Alfani, CEO of Versalis. “In Porto Marghera, we plan to invest in the expansion of our mechanical plastics recycling platform and to consolidate and enhance the logistics hub, including the cryogenic storage facility for ethylene.”
