Engineering Contract Awarded

Itero has awarded the engineering contract for its advanced recycling plant in the Netherlands to Fluor Corporation, a global engineering, procurement, and construction company. The contract will be executed by Fluor’s Amsterdam office, which will collaborate with Itero and Brightlands to design the end-to-end plant.

Plant Capabilities

The plant will utilize Itero’s patented modular technology to convert 27,000 tonnes of plastic waste annually into valuable oils, wax, and gas. These materials can be used as raw inputs for producing new plastic and petrochemical products. This process aims to reduce emissions associated with plastic waste disposal and the production of new plastics from fossil-derived petrochemicals.

Location and Job Creation

Located on the Brightlands Chemelot Campus in Geleen, the Netherlands, the plant is expected to create up to 30 local jobs once operational. Itero plans to expand by building a larger, multi-module commercial plant in the region in the coming years.

Future Ambitions

Itero’s advanced recycling technology enables continuous recycling of waste plastic, offering a circular solution to the global plastic waste problem. The company aims to accelerate the circular economy for plastics through this and future projects.
