埃克森擴展德州工廠,投資2億重塑塑膠回收業務




埃克森美孚推進德州工廠2億美元擴建計劃

(休斯頓,路透社)- 埃克森美孚公司(NYSE:XOM)近日宣布,儘管在加州面臨有關其在全球塑料廢物污染中角色的訴訟,該公司仍將推進擴大塑料回收業務的計劃,旨在用廢棄塑料取代化石燃料。

這家全球最大的聚合物生產商之一的舉動,正值人們對難以分解的塑料填滿垃圾填埋場、滲入地下水並可能對健康造成危害的擔憂日益增長之際。

埃克森美孚將投入2億美元於德克薩斯州,以擴大其所謂的循環經濟運作,全球目標是到2027年每年處理10億磅(約454萬公斤)的廢物。該公司的回收技術被稱為Exxtend。

加州於9月對埃克森美孚提出訴訟,指控該公司故意誤導公眾有關回收的局限性。埃克森美孚則否認了這些指控,並表示其並未誤導公眾關於塑料回收的局限性或氣候變化的問題。

該公司的德克薩斯州貝伊鎮工廠今年將處理8000萬磅的塑料廢物。此次擴建將使其及鄰近的德克薩斯州博蒙特工廠在2026年具備處理高達5億磅的能力。

埃克森美孚產品解決方案總裁凱倫·麥基表示,這些產品將附有描述其來源的證書。“我們銷售的產品為原料品質,部分客戶購買帶有‘認證循環證書’的產品,證明他們每購買一噸這種證書的產品,就有一噸使用後的塑料進入了我們的設施。”

此外,埃克森美孚的競爭對手LyondellBasell也在德國工廠安裝類似的回收技術MoReTec,該技術同樣能夠分解廢塑料。Lyondell計劃在未來幾年內在休斯頓安裝一個大型MoReTec單元,這是在明年永久關閉休斯頓的一座煉油廠後的計劃。

這一發展顯示出在全球對塑料污染的擔憂加劇的背景下,企業正逐漸轉向可持續的回收技術。埃克森美孚的行動不僅是對市場需求的回應,也是其為減輕環境影響而採取的積極步伐。未來,這類技術的推廣可能會成為油氣行業轉型的重要一環,尤其是在應對氣候變化和環境保護方面,企業的責任感將成為其競爭優勢。

然而,埃克森美孚面臨的法律挑戰也提醒我們,企業在推廣可持續發展的同時,必須對其過去的行為負責。這不僅是對環境的承諾,更是對消費者信任的重建。企業如何在保持盈利的同時,實現社會責任,將成為未來發展的一個關鍵議題。

In his left hand, he holds a black selfie stick, while his right grasps the paragliding control lines. The stunning backdrop features crystal-clear turquoise and deep blue ocean revealing intricate coral reefs and gentle breaking waves near a pristine white sandy beach. A charming coastal town with numerouswhite buildings is nestled against lush, emerald-green, tree-covered hills, which ascend to distant, hazy mountains under a softly clouded sky. Another yellow paraglider gracefully soars in the distance, and a long concrete pier extends into the tranquil water. The scene is illuminated by bright, diffused natural light, creating an exhilarating, free-spirited, and idyllic tropical mood, with a color palette dominated by vivid turquoises, deep blues, and verdant greens, beautifully contrastedby the crisp whites of the beach and town, and the bold reds of his clothing and footwear.
