According to KBR, the Mura HydroPRT unit will be used to convert plastic scrap into raw materials for new plastics.
In early 2021, KBR entered an alliance to become Mura Technology’s exclusive licensing and delivery partner. KBR says the companies have been awarded several license awards and feasibility studies related to plastics recycling.
“Deploying KBR’s plastics recycling technology, offered in alliance with Mura, marks one of the key factors for us at GS Caltex towards meeting our circularity targets,” says Woo Jin Choi, vice president of GS Caltex. “With this contract, we move a step ahead in the sustainable and green technology sector by establishing a greener facility.”
“Along with KBR, I am pleased to support GS Caltex in its endeavor to establish early leadership in plastics circularity,” says Steve Mahon, CEO of Mura Technology. “Our differentiated, proven and scalable HydroPRT process is designed to enable companies to achieve their [environmental, social and governance] goals, and we are excited to work with the team of GS Caltex for the same.”
