Honeywell' s UpCycle technology brings new development opportunities to KITECH MACHINERY

Honeywell' s UpCycle technology broadens the types of recyclable plastics and converts waste plastics into raw materials for the production of new plastics, helping to reduce fossil fuel consumption in the process of manufacturing virgin plastics, thereby reducing the carbon footprint and enabling digital hundreds or thousands of recycling cycles, promoting the realization of a plastic circular economy.

UpCycle process technology uses industry-leading molecular conversion, pyrolysis and contaminant management technologies to convert waste plastics into recycled polymer feedstock, which can then be used to make new plastics. UpCycle process technology significantly expands the types of plastics that can be recycled, including waste plastics that cannot be recycled, such as colored, flexible, multi-layer packaging or polystyrene. When combined with other chemical and mechanical recycling processes and improvements in collection and sorting processes, the UpCycle process technology has the potential to increase the proportion of recyclable plastic waste globally to 90%. KITECH MACHINERY will follow this new technology and combine it with UpCycle technology to greatly increase the overall plastic recyclability rate.

A study released in September 2020 by AMI International, a global plastics industry market information provider, showed that a series of advanced recycling technologies, including UpCycle process technology, can recycle an additional 5 million tons to 15 million tons of plastic per year by 2030. Plastic recycling technology is ushering in a new development trend. KITECH MACHINERY will definitely cater to the arrival of new technologies and make more contributions to the field of plastic recycling.
