Pyrolysis technology is now widely used for organic solid waste. Chemical recycling of plastic has become a core solution for global plastic pollution. McKinsey reports predict that by 2035, global chemical recycling will reach 30%. This could add 150 million tons of recycled plastic yearly. It would also cut CO₂ emissions by 93 million tons. That saves 450 million tons of petroleum resources.
In this green wave, Niutech stands out. Based in Jinan, Niutech has over 30 years of technical experience. It holds 110 core patents. Its world-leading continuous pyrolysis equipment transforms low-value mixed plastic waste into high-quality energy products. This builds a circular system from “white pollution” to “urban oil fields.”
01 Breaking Barriers: Solving Pyrolysis’ Three Global Challenges
Plastic pyrolysis faced three major hurdles:
System coking.
Dynamic sealing challenges.
Product polymerization.
These blocked continuous industrial use for years.
Niutech achieved a revolutionary breakthrough. Its innovative process and structure solved these problems. Its 7th-generation intelligent production line overcame these industry challenges.
Broad Material Compatibility: Handles PP, PE, PS – single or mixed. Even medical waste plastic and ocean plastic.
High Pyrolysis Oil Yield: Main product is pyrolysis oil (“plastic to fuel”). Calorific value exceeds 10,000 kcal/kg (~41.86 MJ/kg). Processed oil can become new plastic feedstock. Or, hydrogenated into gasoline/diesel fractions.
Significant Environmental Benefits: Fully enclosed production prevents VOC leaks. No dioxins produced. Carbon emissions greatly reduced. University of Manchester research confirms: Chemically recycled plastic reduces CO₂ by 2.3 tons per ton versus virgin plastic. Replacing incineration cuts emissions by 50%.
Optimized Processing Costs: Recycles flue gas waste heat. Non-condensable gas provides self-sustaining energy.
Intelligent Control System: PLC/DCS systems enable real-time monitoring and auto-correction. Greatly reduces labor needs.
02 Global Impact: From China to the World, Setting the Standard
Niutech’s equipment operates in dozens of countries globally. Diverse commercial applications include:
Denmark Plastic Pyrolysis Project: A 20,000 tons/year plant processes household plastic waste. Pyrolysis oil goes directly to BASF to make new plastic. Achieves EU-standard circularity.
Thailand Plastic Pyrolysis Project: A 30,000 tons/year plant has run continuously for over 10 years. Pyrolysis oil is upgraded into vehicle fuel. Replaces traditional fossil fuels.
03 Green Passport: ISCC Certification Opens High-End Global Markets
Niutech’s new large-scale intelligent pyrolysis lines have dual ISCC-EU/PLUS certification. This is a mandatory pass for the EU renewable energy market.
Dual ISCC-EU/PLUS certification requires:
Traceable feedstock sources (ensures compliance).
Precise carbon footprint measurement during production.
Pyrolysis oil quality meets the petrochemical feedstock replacement standards.
Carbon reductions eligible for international trading.
As the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) rolls out, this certification boosts international competitiveness. It helps circular economy firms access high-value markets.
Projects are launching in the USA, Germany, the UK, South Korea, Vietnam, and more. Niutech’s sustainable plastic solutions are gaining wider adoption. The “Pyrolysis + High-End Intelligent Equipment” model is expanding globally. Niutech injects fresh momentum into the global circular economy. It is emerging as a leader. Niutech is driving a green revolution in plastic waste management.
