Of the active ones, 1 new construction.
The new facility will boost sustainable material production, processing 3M tires annually, with reduced CO2 and water use, supported by strategic partners for design and project management.
Discarded tires are chemically recycled into high-quality polycarbonates for automotive parts, promoting circularity and sustainability in the plastics and automotive industries.
The $1.3M lab in Duisburg enhances technical services and R&D for rubber products, improving grip and reducing rolling resistance in tires, and fostering stronger customer relationships.
The new plant in Tiszaújváros will produce 60,000 tons of S-SBR annually, creating over 100 jobs. It supports MOL's strategy to expand its petrochemical value chain and invest in chemical growth.
The investment aims to boost productivity and energy efficiency for producing Nd-PBR and SSBR rubbers, essential for "green tires," driven by rising global demand and new EU tire labeling laws.
The plant's capacity will increase by 14,000 metric tons annually, with a EUR 20 million investment, to meet rising global demand for butyl rubber, especially in emerging markets and the pharmaceutical industry.
