Polyethylene Terephthalate Recycling Decarbonization Project
Sector: Geothermal • Location: Longview, Texas, United States
Source: Department of Energy (.gov)
Led by Eastman Chemical Company, this project plans to construct a first-of-a-kind plastic molecular recycling facility in Longview, Texas, capable of converting typically landfilled or incinerated products into virgin-quality PET with high yield. The facility will use thermal energy storage combined with on-site solar power to decarbonize process heating, resulting in a product with 70% lower car
