WELCOME TO ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT INNOVATIONS IN PLASTIC RECYCLING
Plastic Recycling: A Global Challenge
Post-consumer plastic waste, a mix of various polymer types, paper, metal and organic matter, is notoriously difficult to recycle. Today, only about 5% of the 400 million tons of plastic waste generated each year can be recycled by conventional methods.
Chemical recycling – if done right – is a viable method to truly close the plastic loop.
The Problem with Current Chemical Recycling Plants
While mixed plastic waste can be converted into reusable hydrocarbons by chemical recycling, most existing plants struggle with a host technological and commercial issues.
- Poor heat transfer rates and frequent maintenance shutdowns due to coking
- Undesired secondary products in slow batch-type reactors
- High investment and operational costs due to complex plant designs
In the past 20 years, losses due to slow and underperforming reactor technologies have by far exceeded the profits earned by the few commercially successful companies the chemical recycling industry.
Revolutionizing Chemical Recycling
ChemEx has engineered a continuous reactor technology that may well turn out as a true game-changer in the entire industry world-wide:
- High-Speed, Continuous Process: Our continuous process converts mixed plastic waste into recycled hydrocarbons in less than 2 minutes – safely, efficiently, and without interruption.
- Coking-Free Operation: The self-cleaning reactor design ensures continuous residue removal, enabling uninterrupted processing while maintaining peak heat transfer rates.
- Ultra-Efficient Heating: Our proprietary heating technology achieves heat transfer rates up to 10x higher than any other heating method currently in use.
