French chemical recycling company Axens and Italian mechanical recycling company Sorema have announced a partnership to deliver advanced integrated solutions for plastic waste recycling.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The collaboration aims to maximise the yield and revenue from waste feedstock to recycled plastic.<\/p>\n

Axens aims to address the recycling of challenging plastics through its range of commercial technologies.<\/p>\n

These technologies enable the production of a recycled naphtha that is equivalent to petrochemical naphtha through a proven pyrolysis process.<\/p>\n

This advancement is claimed to facilitate the creation of food-grade recycled polyolefins.<\/p>\n

In addition to this, Axens offers the Rewind PET process, which can transform all types of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) waste into high-quality, virgin-like recycled PET.<\/p>\n

The recycled material is said to be suitable for various applications, including food contact packaging and textiles.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, Sorema will be offering its expertise in mechanical treatment operations for plastic waste, which enhances the preparation of feedstock for the advanced recycling units designed by Axens.<\/p>\n

The partnership extends globally, with Axens and Sorema providing their integrated solutions from the initial stages of basic engineering design to the delivery of prefabricated modular units.<\/p>\n

This comprehensive approach is claimed to empower customers to execute their plastic recycling projects more effectively.<\/p>\n

In October last year, Axens, in partnership with<\/a> IFPEN and JEPLAN, announced the commercialisation of the Rewind PET chemical recycling process.<\/p>\n

This followed the successful one-year testing of the process at a semi-industrial demonstration unit in Kitakyushu, Japan.<\/p>\n

The process is expected to play a significant role in advancing the energy transition and promoting a circular economy for plastics.<\/p>\n
