ExxonMobil to build large-scale recycling facility
ExxonMobil announced plans on Monday to build a large-scale plastic waste advanced recycling plant in Baytown, Texas.
The facility will be the first of its scale for the company and is expected to start operations by end 2022. The move follows “validation of ExxonMobil’s initial trial of its proprietary process for converting plastic waste into raw materials,” during which 1,000 metric tons of plastic waste were successfully recycled with a demonstrated processing capacity of 50 metric tons per day.
“We’ve proven our proprietary advanced recycling technology in Baytown, and we’re scaling up operations to supply certified circular polymers by year-end,” declared Karen McKee, president of ExxonMobil Chemical Company.
