Under the dual drivers of global plastic pollution control and carbon neutrality goals, plastic chemical recycling technology is emerging as a critical pathway to address the challenge of “white pollution.” Niutech, a global leader in pyrolysis technology, has developed an ‌industrial-scale continuous waste plastic pyrolysis production line‌ through independent innovation. This technology enables efficient resource conversion of low-value, mixed waste plastics, propelling chemical recycling of waste plastics from laboratory research to large-scale industrial applications and offering a “Chinese solution” to global plastic pollution governance.

I. Technological Breakthrough: Industrial Application of Continuous Pyrolysis Technology‌

Traditional plastic recycling relies primarily on physical regeneration, which struggles to process ‌low-value, mixed, and contaminated waste plastics‌ (e.g., plastic bags, agricultural films, and packaging materials) due to challenges in material sorting and low-quality recycled products. Niutech’s ‌continuous pyrolysis technology‌ employs precise temperature control and anaerobic cracking processes to convert waste plastics into pyrolysis products such as ‌pyrolysis oil, solid fuel, and combustible gas‌. The pyrolysis oil can serve as a feedstock for basic chemical raw materials like ethylene and propylene, reintegrating into plastic production chains to achieve high-value, closed-loop recycling.

This technology boasts three core advantages:

Broad Material Adaptability‌: Capable of processing single or mixed plastics (e.g., PE, PP, PS) and complex waste containing impurities (e.g., sediment, moisture).
Continuous Production Capacity‌: Single-line annual processing capacity reaches 10,000-ton scale, with equipment stability exceeding 10 years. Overseas projects in Denmark and Thailand have validated its large-scale efficiency.
Low-Carbon Emission Reduction‌: Compared to incineration, pyrolysis of each ton of waste plastic significantly reduces CO₂ emissions.
II. Global Practices: Building a Circular Economy Industrial Chain‌

Niutech’s technology has been implemented in multiple landmark projects, forming a complete industrial chain covering raw material recovery, pyrolysis processing, and product refinement:

Denmark Project‌: Processes 20,000 tons of plastic waste annually, sourced from municipal waste sorting and recycling agencies. The produced pyrolysis oil is supplied to BASF for manufacturing new plastics, achieving a “plastic-to-plastic” closed loop.

Thailand Project‌: Handles 30,000 tons of mixed waste plastics annually. The pyrolysis oil is refined into gasoline and diesel for vehicular energy, with over 10 years of continuous operation proving long-term economic viability.
China Projects‌: Supported by national policies, Niutech has established 10,000-ton-scale facilities in Shandong and Henan to process medical waste plastics and other specialized materials, mitigating environmental risks from traditional landfill and incineration methods.

These projects not only reduce fossil fuel consumption but also transform plastic waste into strategic resource reserves through the “waste plastic → pyrolysis oil → new plastic” pathway, aiding nations in addressing energy security challenges.

III. Policy Empowerment: Driving Industry Upgrade in Chemical Recycling‌

The global policy landscape has created opportunities for chemical recycling of waste plastics. China’s ‌14th Five-Year Plan for Plastic Pollution Control‌ explicitly integrates chemical recycling into the national strategy, offering a 70% VAT rebate to relevant enterprises. Meanwhile, policies like the EU’s ‌Plastic Packaging Tax‌ and France’s “Plastic Ban” incentivize green technology adoption through economic mechanisms. Leveraging ‌internationally recognized maturity and environmental benefits‌, Niutech has become a technical partner for governments and multinational corporations (e.g., BASF, BP), elevating chemical recycling from an “experimental technology” to a “mainstream pollution control solution.”

Niutech’s technological breakthroughs have transformed low-value plastic waste from a “liability” into an “urban oil field,” injecting momentum into the circular economy. With the advancement of the ‌Global Plastic Pollution Treaty‌, the chemical recycling market is projected to exceed $100 billion by 2030. Niutech continues to refine pyrolysis processes to enhance product purity and yield, collaborate with petrochemical firms to build integrated “waste plastic → chemical feedstock” networks, reduce deep-processing costs, and promote industry standardization.

IV. Conclusion‌

Plastic chemical recycling represents not only a technological revolution but also a redefinition of humanity’s relationship with resources. By centering on continuous pyrolysis technology, Niutech has bridged the final gap in plastic lifecycle recycling, delivering an environmentally and economically viable solution for global carbon neutrality. As technology proliferates and policies mature, this “urban oil field” model is poised to become a paradigm for green, low-carbon transformation, reshaping the global landscape of the plastics industry.
