Plastic Recycling
Axens, a leading technology licensor in the field of plastics circular economy, and SOREMA, an international technology and equipment provider for sorting, cleaning and mechanical treatment of plastic wastes, announce their cooperation for providing integrated solutions for advanced (chemical, physical) recycling of plastic wastes.
Thanks to this cooperation, Axens and SOREMA can provide their clients with integrated and optimized solutions, maximizing the yield and revenues from the waste feedstock to the recycled plastic.
Axens is transforming the recycling of hard-to-recycle plastics by offering a suite of innovative, de-risked commercial technologies (TAC® Process developed by Plastic Energy, followed by Axens’ Rewind® Max and Rewind® Mix processes) to produce a recycled naphtha equivalent to petrochemical naphtha through the proven pyrolysis pathway, thus enabling the production of food-grade recycled polyolefins (polyethylene, polypropylene). Additionally, Axens markets the Rewind® PET process, which can reliably recycle all types of PET waste into a high-quality, virgin-like, recycled PET, suitable for all PET applications including food contact packaging or textiles.
SOREMA’s expertise in all the mechanical treatment operations of plastic waste allows to optimize feedstock preparation for advanced recycling units designed by Axens.
Axens and SOREMA are globally active, offering their integrated solutions from basic engineering design to the delivery of prefabricated modular units, empowering customers to efficiently execute their plastic recycling projects.
Thanks to this cooperation with SOREMA, we can now offer our clients recycling solutions which maximize the valorization of their plastic waste stream. This partnership illustrates the possible and necessary synergies between mechanical recycling and chemical recycling, at the service of the development of a true circular economy of plastics, worldwide.
This cooperation with Axens reinforces Sorema's position as the leading provider of comprehensive plastic recycling solutions. By integrating our mechanical treatment expertise with Axens' chemical recycling technologies, we continue to set the benchmark for innovation and efficiency in the sector.
