Dow and Mura Technology Plan Advanced Recycling Facility at Dow Site in Germany
Dow and Mura Technology announced the next step in an ongoing collaboration to help solve the global plastics waste issue and advance circularity. Mura plans to construct a new facility at Dow's Böhlen site in Germany–the latest in a series of planned facilities across the United States and Europe to rapidly scale advanced recycling of plastics–and the first expected to be based at a Dow site. This project is targeted for a final investment decision by the end of 2023.
Mura's new Böhlen facility in Germany, which is expected to be operational by 2025, would deliver approximately 120 kilotons per annum (KTA) of advanced recycling capacity at full run-rate. This and the other planned units expected to be constructed across Europe and the United States. would collectively add as much as 600KTA of advanced recycling capacity by 2030–and reportedly position Dow to become the largest consumer of circular feedstock for polyethylene production globally.
