PKN ORLEN selects KBR for plastics recycling projects
KBR announced today that it has been awarded a feasibility study contract by PKN ORLEN to evaluate plastics recycling projects in Central Europe utilizing KBR’s Hydro-PRTâ„ technology. KBR and PKN ORLEN have also signed a Letter of Intent to collaborate on the development of future projects.
Along with KBR, PKN ORLEN will assess the implementation of Hydro-PRT as the core technology for recycling waste plastics to support PKN-ORLEN’s corporate ESG and circularity objectives.
