Purification plant for waste plastics (HiCOP system)
The first practical machine that utilizes a catalytic cracking method using a catalyst.
It is now possible to produce high-quality oil that could not be achieved with pyrolysis technology, and is expected to lead to a shift from thermal recycling, which has been done until now by burning, to chemical recycling, which has a wide range of uses, from automobile fuel to plastic raw materials.
