Promotion of Plastic Recycling
has been one of a global issue.

Waste Plastic Reborn as Virgin Plastic!

Chemical Recycles promoted by JGC GroupWorld Demand for Plastics and Current State of Recycling

Chemical Recycling
by Gasification

It is estimated that by 2050, the world demand for plastics will be tripled from the 2015 s.
There is an estimation that the weight of plastics in the ocean will exceed total weight of fishliving in the ocean by 2050, if the present trend continues.*

Significant increase in amount of the plastics for recycling is highly required.

Chemical Recycling

In addition to Material Recycling,promote Chemical Recycling
Significant improvement in the plastic recycling rate isrequired worldwide*. While making maximum use ofmaterial recycling, it is also required to promote
chemical recycling that can be applied to waste plastic
which is difficult to recycle, such as mixed plastic andcontaminated plastic .

Chemical Recycling
EUPofJGC
by Gasiﬁcation
VISION, Realizing a Waste Plastic Recycling Society

As a Licenser/Contractor, the JGC Group Contributes
to the Promotion of,

the Gasiﬁcation Chemical Recycling Technology

Enable to produce wide varietyof plastic products to meetthe expectation of ExtendedProducer Responsibility.

EUP was jointly developed by EBARA CORPORATION (transferred this business to Ebara Environmental Plant in 2009) andUBE INDUSTRIES LTD. This process produces syngas from waste plastic using partial oxidation with oxygen and steam.
Syngas can be utilized for production of ammonia, olefins, and etc.

Plastic Wastes

Applicable to mixed plastics.

This EUP is applied for a gasification facility at Showa Denko's Kawasaki Plant which is continuously running from 2003.
This is the only technology for gasification chemical recycling in the world with a long-term track record of commercialoperation.

Creating a New Value from Waste Plastic throughGasiﬁcation Chemical Recycling

1

Produce Sustainable Plastic Products
It is possible to expand an EUP Gasification Chemical Recycling facility utilizing existing chemical plant.
Waste plastic becomes an alternative raw material, which contributes to saving of Crude Oil and Fossil Fuels.
