This process allows the production of circular-based monomers (the smallest building block of plastics) and then converts them into polymers. During the process the mass balance approach was applied, a methodology that tracks and accounts for circular material when processed together with traditional inputs, ensuring the balance on the total process flows.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MOL Group has achieved a significant milestone in its SHAPE TOMORROW Strategy by successfully completing its first ISCC PLUS-certified production run using circular feedstock at its MOL Petrochemicals site in Tisza\u00fajv\u00e1ros, Hungary.
