Dow and Mura Technology announce facility in Germany
Dow and chemical recycling technology group Mura Technology have announced plans to construct a new facility at Dow’s Böhlen site in Germany, the latest in a series of planned facilities across the US and Europe. The Böhlen site, which is
expected to be operational by 2025, would deliver approximately 120,000 tonnes/yr of chemical recycling capacity at full run-rate. This and the other planned units would collectively add as much as 600,000 tonnes/yr by 2030. Dow President Diego Donoso said: “We continue to increase Dow’s capacity to use recycled content as feedstock and continue to invest in the most effective technology available to enable our circular business model for plastics. The diversification of our feedstock slate and decar- bonisation of our assets will enable the achievement of Dow’s goal of a sustainable, low-carbon future, and meet strong and growing cus- tomer demand for circular polymers.” The planned facility builds upon Dow’s ongoing collaboration with Mura, with an initial project to construct the world’s first plant using Mura’s HydroPRS process in Teesside, UK, expected to be operational in 2023. The HydroPRS process uses supercritical steam to convert most forms of plastics, including flexible and multi-layer plastics

which have previously been deemed “unrecyclable”, back into the original oils and chemicals from which they were made. These can then be used as feedstock to produce new plastics. Dow, which recently

announced a further strategic investment in Mura, aims to take advantage of co-location benefits which could significantly reduce costs and carbon emissions by minimising transportation of the offtake and ensuring
no by-products go to waste as gas output. Dow says the resulting
material can be recycled repeatedly and so avoid landfill and incineration. �
