Chemical Recycling Systems

Vary Tech, Evonik, and SupeZET are advancing circular manufacturing through a full-chain chemical recycling system that converts low-value plastic waste into high-quality plastic pyrolysis oil and circular naphtha. The process combines oxygen-free pyrolysis, impurity removal, hydrogenation, and refining technologies to create petrochemical-grade feedstocks suitable for global supply chains. By integrating chemical recycling with AI-powered waste sorting and processing systems, the companies aim to improve efficiency while addressing growing international recycling regulations and landfill reduction goals.

The business implications are substantial for both the recycling and petrochemical sectors. The partnership supports scalable commercialization of circular materials while helping manufacturers comply with tightening environmental mandates across Europe and Asia. Establishing a Singapore-based demonstration project also strengthens regional infrastructure for waste recovery and sustainable fuel development. For industrial operators, the system creates new value streams from previously unusable plastics while reducing dependence on virgin fossil-based feedstocks in long-term production networks.
