In an effort to speed up plastic recycling in China, Beijing Hinergy Qingyuan Technology will use Honeywell UpCycle Process Technology, according to a statement from Honeywell.
In Shandong Province, Hinergy intends to construct a plastics facility that will use Honeywell’s UpCycle Process Technology to transform waste plastic into recovered polymer feedstock (RPF). With Honeywell’s technology, the factory should be able to convert 30,000 tons of mixed waste plastics year into RPF.
The partnership highlights Honeywell’s emphasis on the energy transition, which, together with automation and the future of aviation, is one of three compelling megatrends to which Honeywell’s portfolio is aligned.
Virgin plastics made from fossil fuels are less necessary thanks to UpCycle. Honeywell’s UpCycle Process Technology may assist recycle almost 90% of waste plastics when combined with additional chemical and mechanical recycling processes, as well as enhancements to collecting and sorting. This would boost the quantity of waste plastics that can be used as feedstock for polymers significantly.
Utilizing cutting-edge pyrolysis, pollutants management, and molecular conversion technologies, Honeywell’s UpCycle Process Technology recovers waste plastic to RPF, which is subsequently utilized to make new plastics. This increases the range of polymers that can be recycled, adding polystyrene and colorful, flexible, multilayered packaging.
“Hinergy is fully committed to technological development and project construction in China’s environmental protection industry. With the accelerated global carbon reduction process and national support for the circular economy, we are confident in the future market prospects for recycling plastic waste,” said Chen Donglin, Chairman of Hinergy. “Through cooperation with Honeywell, Hinergy will leverage the company’s UpCycle Process Technology to establish our first waste plastic recycling facility, and further contribute to China’s circular plastics economy.”
“Honeywell’s UpCycle Process Technology broadens the types of plastics that can be recycled, to help close the loop within the plastics supply chain with a lower carbon footprint,” said William Yu, President of Honeywell China. “We are pleased to collaborate with Hinergy to promote the commercial application of UpCycle, helping to address challenges in traditional plastic waste recycling and contributing to China’s sustainable development goals.”
At the duration of the factory’s service life, Honeywell will supply Hinergy with its UpCycle Process Technology at the new location in addition to start-up engineering and technical services covering operations, optimization, monitoring, and maintenance.
A little over 60% of Honeywell’s research and development expenditures for new product introductions go toward creating goods that benefit consumers’ social and environmental conditions.
As part of its “East for East” strategy, Honeywell has been working with Chinese partners to develop cutting-edge goods and solutions that will help China achieve its dual carbon targets and create a sustainable future.
