Contributing to Solutions to the Plastic Waste Problem

EBARA Environmental Plant encourages the practical application of the chemical recycling of plastic waste to contribute to the solution of plastic waste treatment and climate change issues.
Gasification chemical recycling of plastic waste decomposes plastics that contain different types of materials and impurities that cannot be recycled by other methods into individual molecules and recycle them into an array of chemical substances. This achieves a massive increase of the recycling rate and the reduction of fossil fuel consumption.
