MRC and EQAUTE ink 3 year Waste Management and Recycling contract

13-Apr-17

MRC - the leading eco industrial company in Kuwait, has signed a three-year renewable agreement with EQUATE Petrochemical Company to provide a value-added waste management, logistics, recycling and marketing solution for EQUATE’s scrap.
MRC has been contracted to collect all waste on-site, using 25 large containers placed at strategic locations at EQUATE’s industrial complex, then forward the contents regularly to specialized facilities at MRC for treatment, where they would be recycled into high standard raw materials suitable for manufacturing, and shipped to customers outside the MENA region. Over the three year period of the agreement, an estimated 20 thousand tons of scrap material will be processed.
“Environmentally committed, MRC is always exploring sustainability solutions that help our clients reduce their waste footprint,” said Tarek Al Mousa, CEO, MRC. “We’re pleased to partner with EQUATE to provide a cost-effective, economically feasible and environmentally friendly solution that ensures all scraps are turned into valuable industrial raw material. MRC looks forward to working together with the oil & gas and petrochemicals sector to develop Kuwait’s sustainable future and ensure that the sector maximizes its positive role,” added Al Mousa. “As we work to transform the industrial landscape through such collaborations, we ensure that we remain true to Kuwait’s vision of high standards of quality and environmental sustainability.”
