P66 Sweeny Refinery Achieves ISCC PLUS Certification


   
   OAKHURST, N.J. (DTN) -- Phillips 66 announced today that it has received 
International Sustainability and Carbon Certification PLUS certification for 
its Sweeny Refinery in Texas to process oil made from waste plastics into 
feedstocks for new plastics.

   The certification for the Sweeny Refinery is the latest example of how 
Phillips 66 is working to play a key role in building a lower-carbon future by 
capitalizing on its core comprehensive and integrated assets.

   ISCC is a globally applicable and industry recognized sustainability 
certification system that covers all sustainable feedstocks, including circular 
feedstocks produced from plastic waste. Its ISCC PLUS certificate covers 
biobased and recycled, or circular, raw materials.

   The ISCC PLUS certification verifies the refinery meets the standards to 
process pyrolysis made from hard-to-recycle waste plastics into circular 
ethane, circular propane, circular propylene and other sustainable feedstocks 
and petrochemical building blocks. The products will be used to support polymer 
producers, including Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC, Phillips 66's 50-50 
joint venture, that are advancing a circular economy for plastics.

   "Phillips 66 is committed to keeping plastics out of the environment and 
driving toward a more circular economy where plastics packaging is reused, 
recycled or recovered," said Zhanna Golodryga, executive vice president of 
Emerging Energy and Sustainability at Phillips 66. "The ISCC PLUS certification 
highlights the company's resolve to create sustainable streams for waste 
materials and to support the growth of advanced recycling in plastics."
