Public materials brief.
Public materials brief.
Reliance has a named circular-polymer route at Jamnagar. The real work is to preserve quality and chain of custody from waste plastic to pyrolysis oil to a grade that a buyer can run.
Reliance's FY2025-26 integrated report says Jamnagar has ISCC PLUS-certified production of CircuRepol and CircuRelene circular polymers from chemically recycled plastic-waste pyrolysis oil. The same report describes PET recycling, polyolefin recycling and circular-polymer development. Public sources do not establish plant allocation, feedstock supplier, product-grade TDS, batch availability or buyer commitment.

OpenGrade, allocation and buyer evidence
Material inputs to resolve
- Post-use plastic destined for chemical recycling
- Pyrolysis oil, virgin feedstocks and mass-balance records
- Catalysts, energy and polymer-process inputs
Outputs and residuals to resolve
- CircuRepol and CircuRelene circular polymers
- Polyolefin products and potential recycled-content claims
- Nonconforming feedstock and processing residuals
First decision: Choose one circular-polymer grade and one buyer application. Test the incoming waste-plastic specification, pyrolysis-oil chemistry, ISCC PLUS scope, mass-balance allocation, TDS, COA and processing performance together.
EPR evidence
Its FY2025-26 BRSR records 29,715 tonnes recycled and 34,430 tonnes safely disposed for plastics including packaging.
Technology boundary
Chemical recycling can support a circular-polymer lane only if feedstock quality, allocation and product performance remain controlled.
Evidence boundary
Public reporting does not identify a supplier, capacity allocation, grade-specific technical data or contracted customer.
Decision boundary
Jamnagar gives Reliance a real physical entry point. It does not turn all plastic waste into a qualified polymer. The material decision lives in the chain from specific waste input to a specific buyer-grade resin.
Material flow map
| Material or stream | Qualification gate | Process or destination | Evidence still needed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Material | Qualification gate | Process or destination | Evidence still needed |
| Waste plastic | Polymer mix, contaminants and preprocessing | Pyrolysis-oil production | Acceptance spec, yield and supply allocation |
| Pyrolysis oil | Chemistry, traceability and ISCC scope | Jamnagar circular-polymer route | Mass balance, plant allocation and quality controls |
| Circular polymer | Melt properties, additives and application fit | Buyer conversion or product | TDS, COA, line trial and customer approval |
This is a public screening map. It separates company-disclosed flows from open qualification work. It does not convert a destination into a buyer or an announced ambition into operating capacity.
Three defensible entry lanes
Qualify the oil, not the slogan
The critical intermediate is pyrolysis oil with a defined chemical profile.
Next evidence: Waste-bale specification, oil assay, contaminants, yield and transfer record.
Company-specific lanePublic evidence gap visible
Build one certified grade dossier
ISCC PLUS supports traceability but does not replace a technical data sheet.
Next evidence: Certificate scope, mass-balance method, TDS, COA and grade allocation.
Company-specific lanePublic evidence gap visible
Connect Jamnagar to one converter decision
A circular resin becomes commercial when it clears a named application test.
Next evidence: Buyer product, processing conditions, performance target and approval process.
