Calgon Carbon has completed a multi-million-dollar expansion of its Crosby, Texas facility, nearly doubling the site's output capacity for reactivated carbon. The company, a subsidiary of Japan's Kuraray, acquired the facility in 2024 and now uses it as a key Gulf Coast base for thermal reactivation services. Reactivation restores spent activated carbon so it can be reused, reducing waste, lowering treatment costs, and cutting the need for newly manufactured carbon. The expansion strengthens domestic reactivation infrastructure in one of the country's busiest industrial regions. Calgon Carbon says the process carries a significantly lower carbon footprint than producing virgin activated carbon, making the project relevant to industrial buyers looking for more circular supply chains. The company operates multiple manufacturing and reactivation sites across the U.S., Asia, and Europe, with this Texas project adding capacity for customers along the Gulf Coast.
