Partial Oxidation for Plastic Decomposition
CategoryGasification
Applicable ProductsLow-carbon, ammonia, dry ice, etc.
AchievementProduction of ammonia and carbonates using recycled feedstocks
Resonac promotes chemical recycling by extracting hydrogen and CO₂ gases from plastic containers and packaging waste generated by households and utilizing them as rgasifiedaw materials for ammonia and liquefied carbon dioxide products. In our gasification facilities, plastics are efficiently decomposed and through a two-stage heating process at low and high temperatures. This decomposition technology has been in commercial operation for over 20 years and is widely recognized as a key solution for expanding the reuse of post-consumer plastics.
Development of Carbon Resource Circulation Chemical Recycling Technology
CategoryChemical recycling
Applicable ProductsBasic chemical feedstocks derived from post-consumer plastics
AchievementRe-materialization of mixed plastics (under development and demonstration)
This technology enables the high-efficiency conversion and regeneration of used plastics into basic chemical feedstocks such as ethylene and propylene—the original raw material components. A key feature is its ability to recycle mixed plastics that are discharged in a state containing multiple types of resins along with contaminants such as metals and inorganic contaminants. Our goal is to realize and implement a carbon resource circulation system that connects plastics back to plastics.
