Itero Technologies, a London-based chemical recycler, has signed an agreement with Netherlands-based Brightlands Chemelot Campus to develop a chemical recycling demonstration plant. 

Expected to come online in 2025, the demonstration plant will use pyrolysis to turn end-of-life plastics into chemical resources, Itero says. 

“We welcome taking this next, crucial step together with Brightlands,” Itero CEO Simon Hansford says. “We see the Brightlands Chemelot Campus circular materials ecosystem, including the Brightlands Circular Space initiative, as a natural fit for the development of our recycling technology. It gives us access to incredible expertise with like-minded professionals and talents working towards shared goals here in the Limburg region.” 

According to Itero, Brightlands will contribute to the preparation, design and construction of the demonstration plant.  

“Itero’s decision to build its demonstration plant at Brightlands Chemelot Campus supports our Brightlands Circular Space initiative as the place to be for circular collaboration and innovation on circularity of plastics,” says Astrid Boeijen, Brightlands Chemelot Campus CEO. “Brightlands Circular Space includes a fully circular demonstrator facility that is being developed at the north side of our campus in 2024 to 2026.”

SENNEBOGEN 340G telehandler improves the view in Macon County, NC

An elevated cab is one of several features improving operational efficiency at the Macon County Solid Waste Management agency in North Carolina. When it comes to waste management, efficiency, safety and reliability are priorities driving decisions from day one, according to staff members of the Macon County Solid Waste Management Department in western North Carolina. The agency operates a recycling plant in a facility originally designed to bale incoming materials. More recently, the building has undergone significant transformations centered around one machine: a SENNEBOGEN telehandler (telescopic handler).

Brightlands continues to expand its portfolio with the addition of the Itero demonstration plant. Other facilities located at Brightlands Chemelot Campus are Ioniqa, Blue Plastics and ReSolved Technologies.
