At present, plastic environmental pollution has become a serious global challenge. According to the United Nations, 353 million tons of plastic waste is now produced every year, of which only a small part is recycled, and up to 82 million tons of plastic waste leaks into the environment, putting a huge pressure on the natural environment. In the face of this situation, plastic chemical recycling technology is particularly important, it can not only effectively reduce the generation of plastic waste, but also through the pyrolysis process to convert plastic into fuel, providing a new solution for energy supply.

Plastic chemical recycling technology, as an advanced plastic recycling and plastic treatment technology, is centered on converting waste plastics into valuable chemicals or fuels through specific chemical reactions. Compared with traditional physical recycling methods, chemical recycling can treat plastic waste more completely and reduce environmental pollution. With the continuous progress of technology, plastic chemical recycling is gradually becoming an important means of plastic pollution control. With its 40 years of professional experience, Niutech has become a global leader in the field of waste plastic pyrolysis equipment manufacturing. Niutech focuses on continuous waste plastic pyrolysis technology, is China’s national standard setter and technology leader in this field, and has won the highest award of China’s environmental protection technology — the National Science and Technology Progress Award. Through Niutech’s continuous pyrolysis technology, waste plastics can be transformed into valuable products such as pyrolysis oil and solid fuel after continuous and precise temperature control heating in the state of no oxygen or oxygen poverty. This process not only significantly reduces the volume of plastic waste, but also eliminates potential threats to the natural environment and enables the recycling of waste into renewable energy. Niutech’s technical advantage lies in the high quality and purity of its pyrolysis oil. After deep processing, the pyrolysis oil can be converted into chemical raw materials for the production of new plastics, realizing the conversion from waste plastics to new plastics. At present, Niutech has cooperated with many environmental protection companies in China, Denmark, South Korea, Thailand, etc., deploying advanced continuous waste plastic pyrolysis projects, contributing to the promotion of global plastic pollution control.

In terms of plastic pollution control policies, the world is actively taking action. Policies such as the European Union’s Single-Use Plastics Directive and Australia’s National Plastics Program 2021 have set targets for adding recycled plastic content to new plastic products. The implementation of these policies has not only promoted the development of waste plastics chemical recycling technology, but also provided a broad development space for the market of plastic pyrolysis products. In China, Niutech is leading the construction of the whole life cycle industrial chain of plastics, from the production of plastic raw materials to product design, recycling and chemical monomer recycling, every link is striving to achieve the efficient use and environmental treatment of plastics.

With the rapid maturation and development of plastic pyrolysis technology, the prospect of green and low-carbon disposal of plastics has become increasingly bright. The United States, the European Union, China and other countries have strengthened the management of plastics, promoted the use of recycled plastics, and further expanded the application field of plastic pyrolysis technology. This will effectively promote the formation of the global plastic chemical recycling industry and provide strong support for the transformation of green and sustainable development. In the context of increasing global energy demand and increasing environmental awareness, plastic pyrolysis technology represented by Niutech has a broad market as a new type of green energy. We believe that with the improvement of policies, technologies and industrial chains, the plastic chemical recycling industry will usher in a better future.
