The global governance of waste plastic pollution is entering a critical phase. Every year, 400 million tons of waste plastic are generated worldwide, yet only 9% of it is effectively recycled. The remainder ends up in landfills, is incinerated, or flows into the natural environment, inflicting long-lasting harm on ecosystems. Traditional mechanical recycling methods fall short when dealing with complex materials such as mixed waste plastics, composite packaging, and contaminated plastics. High sorting costs and low recycled product quality have become major pain points plaguing the industry. The rise of chemical recycling technologies for waste plastics offers an innovative approach to establishing a plastic circular economy.
With over 30 years of dedicated experience in the pyrolysis field, Niutech has independently developed large-scale, industrial continuous intelligent waste plastic pyrolysis production lines. Boasting mature and stable performance as well as large-scale processing capacity, these production lines have emerged as a sought-after green recycling solution in the international market. They have transformed waste plastic resource utilization from a mere concept into a large-scale, commercially viable practice, helping the world establish an advanced closed-loop chemical recycling system for waste plastics.
The issue of plastic waste pollution has attracted great attention from numerous countries. Against the backdrop of tightening environmental policies, dual carbon goals, the official implementation of the European Union’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, and the introduction of mandatory recycled material blending regulations in North America— which require the proportion of recycled plastics in products of industries like packaging and automobiles to increase to over 30% gradually—waste plastic pyrolysis technology has become a crucial technical option for petrochemical giants and consumer goods enterprises to meet carbon emission reduction targets and compliance requirements.
Niutech’s continuous pyrolysis process completely breaks the limitations of traditional batch-type equipment. Through independently developed dynamic sealing systems and intelligent temperature control technologies, it achieves long-cycle, large-capacity, stable operation, avoiding energy waste and efficiency loss caused by frequent start-stop cycles of batch-type equipment. A single production line can process over 30 tons of waste plastic per day, with an annual processing capacity starting from 10,000 tons. Customized equipment manufacturing can be carried out according to customers’ actual needs to meet processing demands of up to millions of tons per year. The technology demonstrates strong adaptability to various materials, including low-value waste plastics, mixed waste plastics, marine waste plastics, medical waste plastics, and waste textiles, effectively solving the long-standing industry problems of “difficult recycling and difficult processing”.
As a national expert in high-end continuous pyrolysis technology, Niutech’s advanced continuous pyrolysis technology and complete sets of equipment have been validated through multiple high-end projects around the world, and have obtained a number of international authoritative certifications, such as EU CE and German TÜV. In a large-scale chemical recycling plant put into operation in Vietnam, the company’s complete set of technological equipment has successfully helped a multinational group implement an advanced waste plastic chemical recycling project. The pyrolysis oil boasts a high recovery rate and can be directly supplied to customers’ downstream chemical plants as raw material for producing high-end recycled plastics, perfectly achieving a closed-loop cycle of “waste plastic – pyrolysis oil – new plastic” and helping customers reduce carbon emissions by hundreds of thousands of tons each year. Similar demonstration projects are making steady progress in countries like the UK. With the advantages of high efficiency, low energy consumption, and environmental friendliness, Niutech’s high-end equipment stands out in the global market, becoming a shining calling card for Chinese environmental protection equipment to enter the international high-end market, and providing a replicable and scalable successful model for the global chemical recycling industry.
Currently, the international market demand for high-end chemical recycling equipment is expanding rapidly at a double-digit growth rate of 15%-20% annually. According to industry forecasts, the global chemical recycling market size will exceed 20 billion US dollars by 2027. Niutech’s high-end continuous pyrolysis technology boasts distinct advantages. The company’s intelligent pyrolysis production lines integrate decades of engineering project research and practical experience into an advanced intelligent system. The complete set of equipment is equipped with waste heat recovery systems to achieve energy self-sufficiency, reducing carbon emissions by 66% compared with traditional processes, fully complying with the stringent environmental requirements of Europe and the United States. In this critical period of global circular economy transformation, relying on continuous technological innovation, mature industrialized solutions, and rich international project experience, Niutech can provide advanced solutions for global customers focusing on waste resource utilization, leading the global chemical recycling revolution to new heights.
