Global plastic waste now exceeds 400 million tons yearly. McKinsey predicts it will reach 734 million tons by 2035. That’s a huge amount. If chemical recycling reaches 30%, it could add 150 million tons of recycled plastic yearly.
In a Danish waste plastic pyrolysis plant, plastic bags and films from household waste are processed. Smart equipment turns them into clear pyrolysis oil. This oil goes to BASF, a chemical giant. It becomes raw material for new plastic. This is one of dozens of Niutech’s global plastic chemical recycling projects. Niutech is a STAR Market-listed company. It has 40 years of pyrolysis expertise. Using its self-developed “molecular recycling” tech, it turns “white pollution” into liquid energy.
This is how advanced plastic recycling is sparking a global green revolution.
Chemical recycling solves inherent flaws in physical recycling. It offers a new green solution. Physical recycling struggles with low-value, mixed plastics. Examples include courier bags, takeout boxes, and agricultural film. Pyrolysis breaks these “wastes” down at the molecular level. It returns them to small molecules or monomers. It produces energy products like pyrolysis oil and solid fuel.
Niutech’s tech shows impressive environmental benefits. Processing 100,000 tons of waste plastic reduces CO₂ emissions by 290,000 tons. Its pyrolysis oil can be further processed. It yields basic chemicals like ethylene and propylene. It can also be made into naphtha for synthetic resin. This closes the loop from old plastic to new plastic.
As the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) rolls out, this tech offers Chinese firms a “green passport” for global competition.
Historically, pyrolysis faced global technical hurdles. These included system coking, dynamic sealing challenges, and product polymerization. Niutech achieved a major breakthrough. Its process and structural innovations enabled continuous operation.
In a Henan medical waste project, hazardous waste is processed. IV tubes and bags undergo precise temperature-controlled pyrolysis. They become high-quality fuel oil. This is China’s first industrial-scale medical waste project using continuous pyrolysis. Its second phase is now underway.
Niutech’s global reach proves its tech’s adaptability. Its equipment operates in dozens of countries. These include Germany, the UK, Denmark, Hungary, South Korea, Vietnam, and Estonia.
A Thailand project shows an energy pathway. It processes 30,000 tons/year of mixed urban plastic waste. The pyrolysis oil is upgraded to gasoline/diesel fractions. It directly fuels transport fleets. This project has run continuously for over 10 years. It proves the tech’s long-term reliability.
Niutech’s pyrolysis oil earns the title “green crude oil” internationally. Its output holds dual ISCC EU/PLUS certification. This grants access to the global high-end renewable energy market.
