ExxonMobil plans to invest more than 200 million dollars to expand its advanced recycling operations at its sites in Baytown and Beaumont, Texas (United States). The new operations are expected to start up in 2026 and can help increase advanced recycling rates and divert plastic from landfills. The company plans to build additional units to reach a global recycling capacity of 450,000 tons per year by 2027.
The investment will add 160,000 tons per year of advanced recycling capacity at Baytown and Beaumont, bringing ExxonMobil’s total capacity to 227,000 tons per year. The company is continuing to develop additional advanced recycling projects at manufacturing sites in North America, Europe and Asia, with the goal of reaching 450,000 tons per year of recycling capacity globally by 2027.
