据ICIS-MRC网站8月17日莫斯科报道，根据日本主要石化生产商三菱化工公司（Mitsubishi Chemical）8月12日发布新闻稿称，该公司已宣布计划利用Mura technology和KBR的许可技术开发其首个化学品回收项目。
该项目将建于三菱位于日本的茨城工厂，每年可回收2万吨塑料废料。该公司预计将于2023年完工。
该公告是在6月16日与英国化学回收商Mura Technology 和美国工程公司KBR签署了注册商标的HydroPRS工艺许可协议之后发布的。
塑料行业越来越多地将化学回收视为机械回收的可行替代方案，因为其允许以前填埋或焚烧的塑料废物在不降级的情况下进行回收。
三菱表示，其将寻求在未来扩大工厂的产能，因为Mura强调HydroPRS技术具有“固有的可扩展性”。

Mitsubishi to develop its first chemical recycling project in Japan with Mura Technology and KBR
Mitsubishi Chemical, a major Japanese petrochemical producer, has unveiled plans to develop its first chemical recycling project with licensed technology from Mura Technology and KBR, according to the company's press release align="justify"> The project will be based at Mitsubishi's Ibaraki Plant in Japan, with the capacity to recycle 20,000 mt of plastic waste per year. The company is expected to complete construction in 2023.
The announcement follows a licensing agreement for the trademarked HydroPRS process signed align="justify"> Chemical recycling has been increasingly viewed as a viable alternative to mechanical recycling by the plastics industry, as it allows plastic wastes that were previously landfilled or incinerated to be recycled without downgrading.
Mitsubishi has said that it will seek to extend the plant's capacity in the future, as Mura highlighted the fact the HydroPRS technology is "inherently scalable."
