KBR, Inc. is a US-based company operating in fields of science, technology, and engineering. KBR works in various markets, including aerospace, defense, industrial, and intelligence.
The company is going to install a TreeToTextile plant in Sweden.
KBR will provide technology license, engineering, proprietary equipment, and commissioning services for the chemicals recovery unit of the project, which will enable TreeToTextile to efficiently and sustainably reuse valuable chemicals through KBR Ecoplanning® innovative solutions.
Doug Kelly, KBR President, Technology, said, “We are honored to support this exciting project by TreeToTextile for producing a highly sustainable low-cost textile fiber using renewable forest materials. KBR is committed to expanding its sustainable technologies portfolio to help our clients balance their business and ESG objectives.
”
The TreeToTextile technology is a new innovative chemical process – using renewable forest raw material and regenerating the cellulose into a textile fiber by spinning the dissolving pulp. The process uses fewer chemicals, allowing for a more sustainable and cost-efficient process than conventional technologies and fibers. There are no sulfur emissions during the production, and the water and the chemicals used are recycled and reused. The innovation is still in development, and now we are ready to scale up the production, intending to bring the fiber to the market.
