Licella Partners With KBR On It's First Australian Post-Consumer Plastic Material Recycling Plant

KBR Inc. (NYSE: KBR), a global provider of science, technology and engineering solutions, has been selected for the design of Licellas first full-scale commercial Cat-HTR™ facility in Australia and New Zealand (ANZ).

KBR will collaborate with Licella under their subsidiary Advanced Recycling Victoria Pty Ltd (ARV) to develop this advanced recycling facility. The ARV facility, which will utilise Licellas pioneering Catalytic Hydrothermal Reactor (Cat-HTR™) technology, will be located in Altona (Victoria) and is planned to commence construction in 2023.

Mura Technology (Mura), who hold the exclusive licence to Licellas Cat-HTR™ technology for plastic outside of ANZ, have been engaged with KBR as their exclusive global licencing partner since January 2021. Licella retain the rights to their Cat-HTR™ platform in ANZ, as well as remaining the largest single shareholder in Mura (with over 30% ownership).

This relationship made KBR the natural choice of engineering partner for Licellas first full-scale commercial Cat-HTR™ facility in Australia.

The combination of game-changing advanced recycling technology, with KBR’s modular and scalable engineering expertise, places Licella at the forefront of the Australian plastics circular economy.
