Japanese company Environment Energy is poised to launch a commercial plant in 2025 that could transform the landscape of plastic recycling.
The company’s innovative method promises to convert plastic waste into crude oil, potentially processing 20,000 tons of plastic annually.In an age where environmental concerns are at the forefront of global discourse, a startling statistic emerges: Every minute, a
The company’s innovative method, HICOP , promises to convert plastic waste into crude oil, potentially processing 20,000 tons of plastic annually. HICOP yields high-quality oil composed of 50 percent gasoline and 50 percent diesel and can process about 120 tons of waste per month with minimal downtime. The resultant oil can be used for transportation fuel, home heating, or as raw material for new plastic production.The HICOP method represents a significant leap forward in chemical recycling. Unlike mechanical recycling, which grinds and repurposes plastic, chemical recycling breaks it into constituent parts.
One of the most promising aspects of HICOP is its versatility. The system can handle mixed plastic waste and even has a dechlorination feature, making it capable of processing PVC with extremely low contamination.While HICOP represents a cutting-edge solution, it’s important to understand the context of Japan’s current recycling efforts. Mechanical recycling dominates Japan, accounting for over 20 percent of plastic waste processing.
The ability to convert plastic waste into usable fuel or raw materials for new plastics could significantly reduce the environmental impact of our plastic consumption.
